the general conflict of the crusades was that everyone that was fighting in it, christians, jews, muslims, all wanted to have complete control of the holy land aka jerusalem. the problem was that they could not liove in the same city together without fighting.

//**2. Background--Describe who, what when and where.**// the christains,jews, and muslims were involved with the crusades. the first crusade started in 1096. the crusades started because the christians, jews, and muslims all wanted to be in control of the holy land otherwise known as jeusalem. the pope declared the crusades in 1095 and then it started.

one factor of the crusades was that the pople declared the crusades in 1095 and then it all happened. the second factor of the crusades was that the christians, jews, and the muslims all wanted to be in control of the holy land. the third factor was that the turks were going to attack constantinople because of the good trading land.
 * //3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.//**

//**4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.**// i think the most important factor was that all the christians, muslims, and jews wanted to have complete control of the holy place. the cool part of it is that they all have a reason to have control, muslims: they think that because muhammad have his night journey there they should have control. christians: they think they should have it is because jesus was crusified by the romans there. jews: they think they should have it because two of there kings have ruled them there.

the religous i was studying about was the christians. one person the crusades infected in the christians was the pope urban, he was impacted by the crusades because he was the one who declared that they should have the crusades. he was also impacted by the crusades because he was the one who kind of led them into the first crusades by saying: "christ is your leader... wear his cross as your badge.if you are killed your sins will be pardoned... let those who have been fighting against their own brothers and kinsfolk now fight lawfully against barbarians."
