1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict. __ 2. Background--Describe who, what when and where. __ The Crusades were a series of military conflicts of a religious character which occurred in the years 1095-1291,and took place in the Middle East in the countries of Israel, Syria, turkey, and Saudi Arabia. The Crusades originally had the goal of recapturing Jerusalem and the sacred "Holy Land" from Muslim rule and were launched in response to a call from the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire for help against the expansion of the Muslim Seljuk dynasty into Anatolia. The call was issued by Emperor Alexius I in 1095 to Pope Urban II. Pope Urban immediately held a council in Clermont was he ordained that a crusade should be sent to the Near East to aid the Byzantines and recover Jerusalem. __ 3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades. __ Economical issues Land Money __ 4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others. __ I would say that land was more important to the crusaders than others because than they would have more people on the land which mean that they would get more money and more economical issues. __ 5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades. __ Pope Urban II was responsible for assisting Emperor Alexus I of Constantinople in launching the first crusade. He made one of the most influential speeches in the middle Ages, calling on Christian princes in Europe to go on a crusade to rescue the Holy Land from the Turks. In the speech given at the Council of Clermont in France, on November 27, 1095, he combined the ideas of making a pilgrimage to the Holy Land with that of waging holy war against infidels. __ 6. Conclusion--Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided. __ I believe the crusades could have been avoided by not having all the arguments over the land, the money, and all the economical issues. If they would have been more controlling, then they could have just talked about the situation of land instead of playing games (as in the crusades). In the arguments, there were little fractions of arguments like more people want to start over and rule over more people. If the crusade hadn’t happened than it wouldn’t be the same as it is today. __ 7. Works Cited--List your sources in MLA format. __
