= 1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict. = The main general cause that led to the crusades was trying to controll the holy land. Ahe jews wanted it because they controlled that land first. The muslims wanted it because they think that muhammad was here and flew off to god in a flying horse. And the christans want the land because they wanted more territory and they think that jessus walked here so it became holy to them. = 2. Background--Describe who, what, when, and where. =

 * what:the many wars the jews,christans,and muslims had with the crusades.
 * when:the crusades strted in the1095 and ended at 1291.
 * where:the holy land that the jews,muslims,and the christans tried to get**. **

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

 * 1) to regain every part of the holy land at any cost.
 * 2) to recapture juruselm wich was protected by a lot of muslims.
 * 3) the seljuk turkswere another reson why the crusades started.

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
The most important factor was the crusades trying to controll the holy city because that was the main thing every one tried to take over and had many wars about. And this is more important than the other factors because the other factors because the main thing every one really had a war about was from trying to controll the holy city.the reson why the jews,christans,and muslims wanted the land was because of land and of the belifs they had. The other factors went that important because jurulem did had a role in the crusades but the crusades had their target on the holy land. And the seljuk turks also had a role but the crusades didnt really care about them they wanted the holy land. = 5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades. = The jews were impacted a lot because many of the jews got killed of the crusades. Jews were not strong in combat so they had a weaker advantege against the crusades. The jews also got sold into slavery but many rissisted and got murderd. And so they had the childrens crusade but few retuned or never came back and never made. But there are some pople got impacted by the crusades like elizer ben nathan. The cusades forced him to leave his town and leave every thing behined. The crusades made him have to move to a new places and feel the sorrows he had because of all of his pople that got killed and the lost of his family. After his son in law died he wrote a poem to him that said "Long live my child Eliakim." (said himself). But all of the jews had a hard time to reciver but they were able to manege to survive.

6. Conclusion--Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided.
The crusades could have been avioded if pope urban the second didnt send the crusades to go kill almost everybody. Or if every body just set their diffrences asside and just shared the Holy City. Another way the crusades could have been avoided is if nobody owned the land and made a new holy land for each of the religions.
