Please give details if possible.
This is for revision.
If you can tell me anything about the first crusade that's really good.
If you can tell me one or more of the more precise things below that's also really good.
Thank you.
Examples of what I need to know;
- Why it started
- What the Seldjuks did
- Why the Muslims were disunited
- What happened at Nicaea, Edessa, and Antioch
- The leaders and what happened to them/what they did
- The People's Crusade
- The journey the Crusaders took (and why)

so how about.. you go read your history book?
or you go to this website called google.. its a search engine. it gathers information for you
and it would have been way faster to search rather than to type up your whole question : )
well for next time..

First Crusade was launched in 1095 by Pope Urban II
goals of liberating the sacred city of Jerusalem and the Holy Land from Muslims and freeing the Eastern Christians from Muslim rule. What started as an appeal by Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus for western mercenaries to fight the Seljuk Turks in Anatolia quickly turned into a wholesale Western migration and conquest of territory outside of Europe.

Forget Wikipedia, read your History textbook, and/or read:
'The First Crusade' by Sir Steven Runciman'
'The Crusades' by Robert Payne

that's a long list but you could find the same atrocities during almost any war. christian cannibalism is my favorite though. That is the eating of Muslims after a siege.
