​ 1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict
I believe that the cause of the crusades was religion. Because all of what these people grew up with, is their religion their religion is what kept them going ,what these people breathed for, is there religion. But when someone comes in on your territory and tells you what you are and what you believe in is wrong, of course they will fight. Fight till the end, till the death.

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

 * People involved in the Crusades (aka rivals) were Jews,Muslims,Christians.
 * Major dates in the crusades were 1096, 1616,1189.1212.
 * Crusades where a battle for the power of Jerusalem.
 * The battle took place in Europe, Asia ,North Africa ,Spain ,Middle East, and Jerusalem.
 * The pope was one of the people who begain the Crusades and started the flair of the fire.

3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.
All of the fighters in the Crusades never agreed. But they only agreed on one thing and that was Jerusalem was the holy city given to the people by God. They where three things: greedy, stubborn,and pridefull.

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
I think that it was their pride, because they have been raised to believe in God one way ,and then people go and tell them that how they have lived, and breathed, and read, and practiced are wrong! Well, they are not going to let them push them around and say that what they are doing is wrong.But what ties into that, is being stubborn, they would not even listen to what anyone wanted to say. It was what they said goes, but of coarse everyone wants land to expand their territory. The people who lived there had to be either Christian, Muslim, or Jewish, but no one wanted to share so it is everyone's fault.

5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades.
The Jews where impacted the most, because they where the ones burned at the stake. Their familys were killed, homes lost, kids sold into slavery. They didnt fight back, why did they just let themselves die? That is my question, a question that only god knows. A question we will never find out, this is what happen the facts Jews where beaten tortured and so much more. Don't you wonder sometimes how, how did it come to this?

6. Conclusion--Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided.
I think that all the people who where involved in the crusade could have sat down and talked about it they could have come up with a decision to split up the land, or one thing you know that could never be done, it is a word called.......S-H-A-R-E!!!!!!!!!!
