CRUSADES
The crusades were a series of religious wars that occurred between the Christians and the Moslems. ... The Crusades were then started. What really caused the crusades is still a debate between historians today. I believe that selfish greed among all parties that encouraged the Crusades is the true origin of the so-called “Holy Wars”. ...
The nobles and knights were also involved in the crusades for personal motives. ... This is a different kind of profit, than the profit the Pope would gain in calling a crusade, but they were still using the crusades as a way of personal gain. ... They were probably the most important part for the Crusades to take place; because if there were no people to fight, than their would be no Crusade. ... This proves that they were not in the crusades for religious reasons, but personal reasons.
The Crusades were a failure, as the Church did not accomplish its goal of capturing Jerusalem. ... I learnt that the Crusades weren’t quite as Religious as they are said to be, and that people are more often than not, driven by greed. ... The Crusades weren’t purely negative, as many good things resulted from their actions.
