​1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict.
**//The Holy Lands. These wars were fought over one piece of little land. Don’t get me wrong it was important land but they murdered hundred and thousands of people of Jerusalem. The Christians, The Muslims and The Jews were fighting over land they thought God gave them. This is how it happened.//**

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

 * 1) **//The Muslims,the Christain,the Jews,King Richard,knights,Seljuk Turks,children and Pope Urban2//**
 * 2) **// The four crusades took place in the time period of 1096-1291 //**
 * 3) **// The crusades took place in Constantinople,Europe and most of all Jerusalem. //**
 * 4) //** "The noble race of Franks must come to the aid their fellow Christians **//** in the East. The infidel Turks are advancing into the heart of Eastern Christendom; Christians are being oppressed and attacked; churches and holy places are being defiled. Jerusalem is groaning under the Saracen yoke. The Holy Sepulchre is in Moslem hands and has been turned into a mosque. Pilgrims are harassed and even prevented from access to the Holy Land." (Dr.E.L. Skip Knox)  **

3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.
==4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others. //**I think that the Christians and the Muslims being greedy over land is important because if they didn’t care as much than people wouldn’t fight over the land because they all could live there. Personally I think that the Christians should hold the land like they do in parts of the wars because ‘God’ told them this is there land. The other things did have good impacts on the crusades but this one is the most important.**// ==
 * 1) **//The Christains and The Muslims got greedy over land//**
 * 2) **//The Spanish Inquisition//**
 * 3) **//More than one group of people beliving god gave them land//**

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

 * // Clermont in 1095; but it is certain that he was one of the preachers of the crusade in France afterward, and his own experience may have helped to give fire to the Crusading cause. He soon leapt into fame as an emotional revivalist; and the vast majority of sources and historians agree that thousands of peasants eagerly took the cross at his bidding. In Peter's absence the pilgrims were ambushed and cut to pieces in detail by the Turks who were more numerous as well as more disciplined. Despite Peter's pronunciations of divine protection, the vast majorities of the pilgrims were slaughtered by the swords and arrows of the Turks, or were enslaved. Left in Constantinople with the small number of surviving followers, during the winter of 1096 1097, with little hope of securing Byzantine support, the People's Crusade awaited the coming of the armed crusaders as their sole source of protection to complete the pilgrimage.( Wikipedia contributors) //**

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

 * //i think that rhis war could have been avoided by they people not being so greedy and power hungry. If people could sign tredeys or somthing but no the world has to come down to fighting what has become of the world. Back then they could have just shared they land like they do today it would save alot of time that way. I think that if any one of the groups would get the land it should be the christains because 'God' gave them that land.//**
