= =
 * Pope Urban ll calling for the council in Clermant led to the call of the crusades.
 * All religions fought for control of Jerusalem(the holly land) for their religion ideals, led to fightind in Jeruslaem.
 * Muslims taking over Holy Land of Jerusalem after the crusade of the jews and christians.

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
The most important factor was when Pope Urban ll called for the council in Clemont. one reasone was because Pope Urban is the first person the call for the crusade to take over the Holy Land of Jerusalem. another reason was because He tried to take over of all the lands like Jerusalem, Damasscus, Syria, and Anatolia. If he had never called for the crusades non of this would have happened. He had the power of controling Eouroupe, Asia, and some of Africa. Pope Urban's followers followed his lead to controlling half of the world and his followers became powerful.​

5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades.
One of the religions who were impacted was when the muslims were being thlotered be Mongola, The leader of the crusades in China. The muslims were fighting for there lives to protect Jerusalem and themselves. Salah al-Din, the muslin laeder, was impacted by King Richard, the lion heart and they were actually good friends. The Muslins won the Third crusade by Richard. They had the help from the jews in the crusade and they out numbered the christians.Saladin soon moved out of Egypt and occupied Damascus and other Syrian towns, though Egypt continued to be a base of his operations. Rivalries among both Christian and Muslim powers led also to alliances between religious factions against their opponents, such as the Christian alliance with the Sultanate of Rum during the Fifth Crusade.The Muslim armies' successes put increasing pressure on the Eastern Orthodox Byzantine Empire.In 1063, Pope Alexander II had given his blessing to Iberian Christians in their wars against the Muslims, The disunity of Muslim emirs was an essential factor. Much earlier, theChristian homelands of Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Egypt, and so on had been conquered by Muslim armies. It said that," The crusades originally had a goal of recapturing Jerusalem from the muslims" (Abaza).

6. Conclusion--Explain how The Crusades could have been avoided.
I think one way to control greed is giving 2.5% of their wealth. If they didn't do that, then the would be fighting thinking to much for themselves and fighting over what religion would get all the wealth over the Holy land in Jerusalem.
