1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict.

 * I think that the main cause for the crusades was the religious challenge that capturing Jerusalem brought each group of faith through the “holy book” of each people: the Qur’an, Torah, and the Holy Bible. Each religion was only doing what it was told was right by these books. **

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

 * The Muslims had Jerusalem in their control when the Christians attacked in the first crusade. The crusades lasted from 1096 to 1291, and most battles were fought in or outside of Jerusalem, for the one goal held by all three religions: dominance of the “Holy Land”………. **

3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.
· ** The pope most likely wanted to get revenge on the Muslims for objecting their faith and beliefs… ** · ** The pope was greedy and was going to demand a toll fee for allowing the Muslims and/or Jews to worship in the city… ** · ** The Muslims don’t know how to share… **

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

 * The Muslims inability to share was the most influential cause of the long-lasting battle between the three sides. If the Muslims had agreed to share the land and had been good little munchkins, then the Christians would have probably agreed to the sharing of the land. **

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

 * Pope Urban the third gave his famous speech that called the crusades, and then he ended up dying some years later… oh well **

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


 * The Muslims could have have shared, allowing the Christians to worship and take part in their beliefs. Then there would have been peace. Or at least until somebody got killed and some random terd blamed it on somebody else. Then we'd all be dead.... hip hip hurray **
