1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict
.
 * I believe that the Muslims had a big part in the Crusades becasue the Muslims and Christians had the biggest part in the war so there for i believe that the Muslims had a bigger part. One reason is because the Muslims had a better leader that believed in them more. The leader was Salah al din.

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

 * The people that were involved in the Crusades were the Jews, Muslims, Christians, King Richard who evolved in the Crusade, Salah-aldin who was a fighter for the Muslims, and Pete the Hermit.
 * The conflict took place during 1146-1148, It also took place in 1096 when the Pope called for the first crusade, The last date was 1071 when the Seljurk Turks defeated the the large Byzantine Empire.
 * There were many diffrent conflicts but were the conflicts took place were Jerusalem, Acre, Syria, Clermont, and the Byzantine Empire.
 * The conflict was that the Muslims and the Christians were a big part in the Crusades but the Jews were just squated in the middle of them both.

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

 * One main idea that lead to the Crusades was that the Pope called war so it had a big part of that.
 * Also one other big part of the Crusades was that there was alot of slavery going around so that lead to war to.
 * one other factor that lead to the Crusades was Ransacking or Pilgrim aging that had some what of a part in the led to the Crusades

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the other.

 * I think the most important factor is how the Pope called to Clermont for the war. I think that Slavery in the Middle ages was a big part of the war but when the Pope called for war it was bigger then Slavery. So my opinion is that when the Pope called for war it is more important then Slavery

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


 * The religious group i chose was Muslim and the person i picked was Salah al din. He had a strong part in the war because he motavated all the Muslims to believe and stay strong against the war. He also was a big leader in the second Crusade for all the Muslims.

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

 * The Crusades could of been avoided if the Pope didn't call to Clermont for the war. Also if the Muslims and the Christians didn't have to fight over the land or food. So i think that the Crusades could of been avoided. One last thing about the Crusades is if the Jews could of fought more and told people to stop fighting then the Crusades wouldnt of happened.
