           The crusades where a long series of wars between christians and muslims in south west asia. Europens called palestine and the holy land because it was the religion where jesus had lived preched and died. For many years palestine had been in hands of muslims. People that were sent to th crusades were pesants not soldiars. On there way to the holy land, the crusades attacked jews in Germany. They blamed the Jews of Jesuses death. Before they even reched the holly land Turkish troops killed most of the peasants. When they reached Jerusalem in1099, they found the muslims arrmy and unready to fight. After a while the crusades started. After the Europians, took over Jerusalem they wanted to take over small kingdoms in the holly land. They also began to trade with poeple in Europe. In the second, french and jerman kings set of in 1147 to take over the muslim land agian.the christains had por planning and alot of loss in their journey to the holey land this led the christians to a total defeat, because of their defeat the crusades returned to Europe in less then a year.the tired crusade started 1189 after the muslims retook over jerusalem.in 1201 the fourth crusade startedbut it only lasted three years. Other crusades where fallowed but they where not successful by 1291 the muslim armies had taken back of the holey land and the crusades had ened. There where many reasons why the crusades ened one because the crusades had to travel long distances just to reach the war and many died. Two the christians where outnumbered by the muslims foes. Three crusades where preperd to fight in desert climates. Last the one Christians leaders fought among them selevs and did not plan clearly.
