  15. BENEFITS OF THE CRUSADES? • The Italian cities prospered from the transport of Crusaders and replaced Byzantines and Muslims as merchant-traders in the Mediterranean. • Trade passed through Italian hands to Western Europe at a handsome profit. This commercial power became the economic base of the Italian Renaissance • Settlement of the Middle East, major trade center • Some Scholars: Crusades helped bring Western Europe in contact with Eastern, Greek and Muslim medicine, thinkers, science that helped pull Western Europe out of the dark ages.
