The Crusades: The Christian Quest for Jerusalem

The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated by Christians to reclaim Jerusalem from Muslim control. This holy city held immense significance for both religions; for Christians, it was the site of Jesus's life and crucifixion, while Muslims revered it as a key part of their faith, linked to Muhammad. Beginning in 1076 AD, Crusaders traveled long distances driven by religious fervor and calls for unity against Muslim forces. Despite fervent efforts and significant loss of life, the Crusades ultimately did not succeed in capturing Jerusalem, which remained under Muslim dominance.
