​1. I n t r o d u c t i o n -- Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict.

 * I think the crusades started from a lot of wants rather than needs and people wanting to think they are more Christian or Jewish than others.

2. Background-- Describe who, what, when, and where.

 * The people involved in the crusade included some of these people:
 * The conflict was about Religons trying to make people to convert so they followed their ways for example: Christians got some Muslims and Jews to convert to Christians from the war.
 * The first crusades took place during 1096-1099, The second crusades took place during 1146-1148, and lastly, the third crusades took place during 1189-1192.
 * It took place in places such as these: Asia, Jerusalem, Spain, Portugal, Europe, middle east, and many more places.

3. Causal Factors-- Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.

 * Pope urban II was the man who started the crusades when he wanted to increase his power.
 * The crusades also started when islamics went to jerusalem and took control of it.
 * One more way that the crusades started is that Europe was looking to capture more land.

4. Most Important Factor-- Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
I think the most important factor of the crusades was started from countries fighting to make people change religon because:
 * It will make everyone the same.
 * It will make you feel like they are on your side.
 * They all believe in what you believe in.

5. Impacts-- Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades.

 * The Christians affected the crusades greatly from having Urban start the war and having land taken over and captured. The Christians lost many men and had losts destroyed during the war but managed to capture religous strongholds. If the christians wouldnt have been in the war then there would probably be less fighting.
 * One person that I looked up to during the war was Pope Urban. he was brave enough to take the reigne of being a pope and changing his last name. I think that if Urban was in the war, it would have affected muslims and Jews greatly. If he wasn't a pope, there probably would have been no war.

6. Conclusion-- Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided.

 * The crusades could have been avoided if the people just learned to share land and get along with equal rights.
