= The Jews the Muslims and the Christians fought over Jerusalem for almost 200 years. =

2. Background--Describe who, what when and where.
===During the crusades the jewish people were in the middle of the christians and the muslims fighting over the holy land. the crusdades were and long and terrible batle fought over almost 200 years 1096-1291. its was fought in several diffrent places such as jerusilum, europe, constantinople, asia, and clermont.===

3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.
==One of the factors is that pope urban the 2 called for the first crusade. If the pope didnt call for the crusade most likely this wouldnt have happend. A second factor is if the jews didnt get in the middle of things it would have probaly ended after about 50 years. The third factor is if the pope would have called a meeting with all the leaders instead of just attacking.==

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
=I think the most important factor of this whole thing is that the jews shouldnt have been in the middle of the thing. Because if the jews didnt get stuck in the middle the war would have probably only lasted about 50 years and maybe less than 1,000 jews have died then 10,000 jews died.= == 5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades. Im doing the jewish people during the crusades. In the crusades what i have read the jews were like slaughter toys. Over 10,000 of them died during the whole thing. Eleazar ben judah was the person i chose. The crusades really impacted him they killed his wife and daughters and his son was wounded then died later and his teacher was killed.== = 6. Conclusion--Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided. = =I think the crusades could have been avoided by the pope if he would have just talked it out before just attacking. i also think it could have been avoided by the jews if they didnt get caught in teh middle of things.= = 7. Works Cited--List your sources in MLA format. =
