1. Introduction--Describe a general cause or causes of the conflict.
I think that desire for the land was the cause. When I say land I mean jerusalem. It is obviuos that all three religons wanted the land and would kill for it.

2. Background--Describe who, what when and where.
Pope Urban II had a speech about going to constantinople and helping defend them from the seljuk turks. The speech took place in Clermont. To see his speech visit [] you must scroll.



3. Causal Factors--Describe three factors that led to The Crusades.
1. One factor was the Seljuk Turks tring to attack the Byzantine empire. This was the base of the war. 2. Becasue the Turks were attacking the byzantines, Pope Urban II had a meeting about sending a crusade to help. 3. There is another belief that the Christians attacked because muslim pilgrimages were oppressing jerusaelm.

4. Most Important Factor--Explain how one factor was more important than the others.
I believe that the pope making the desicion to speak at clermont to start the crusades was the most important. I think this because without the speech, the first crusade would have never left the city and there would have been no war.

5. Impacts--Explain how one religous group and an individual within that group were impacted by The Crusades.
I belive that the Christians were not the most heavily affected but were affected very harshly. One person thats was affected very was King Richard I. During the war he made many great decisons that urt him later on in his future. For exapmle, he kille dmany people of different race and when they took over they returned the favor.
