1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict.
I believe the main cause of the crusades was the inability to understand the other side of the situation.

2. Background--Describe who, what when and where.
People involved in the crusades were Pope Urban II, king Richard, Emperor Frederick, and Salah al-Din Yusuf. The crusades was a battle over Jerusalem, the Holy Land. The goal of the crusades was to recapture Jerusalem, the Holy City. The first crusade took place 1096 to 1099. The second crusade took place 1147 to 1149. The third crusade was 1189 to 1192. The fourth crusade was 1201 to 1204. The Fith crusade was 1218 to 1221. The sixth crusade was 1228 to 1229. The seventh crusade was 1248 to 1254. The eighth crusade was 1270. And the last one was from 1271 to 1271. The crusades lasted about 200 years. The crusades took place in The Middle East, in the countries of Isreal, Syria, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.

3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.
One factor was that the byzantines lost Asia Minor to the Muslims. They all wanted to gane control of Jerusalem.

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
One factor that was more important than the others was religion. The crusades mostly started from religion because Christians, Muslims, and Jews all wanted to gain control of Jerusalem. Also, they all wanted to worship there but if one religion is there then the others can't.

5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group wer​e impacted by The Crusades.
The Muslims were impacted by getting Jerusalem taken away from them. They wanted it back but the Christians wanted Jerusalem, so they got in a fight. One specific person that the crusades impacted was Salah al-Din Yusuf. He helped recapture Jerusalem. Then the Pope ordered Christians to get back Jerusalem. He agreed to pay a ransom for 2000 Muslims that were captured. But there was a breakdown in the prosses and Richard ordered their execution. Richard was determined to get Jerusalem and prepared to take on Sala al-Din Yusuf. = =

6. Conclusion--Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided.
The Crusades could have been avoided by talking insted of fighting. Also, they could have tried to understand the other groups view or reason for it. That is my understanding on the crusades.
