Detailed explanation-1: -The Europeans learned about new concepts in math as well as a new numbering system, called Hindu Arabic Numerals, that we still use today. They gained access to new medical knowledge and other ideas as well. The Crusades also opened up many new trade possibilities with goods that Europeans never had access to before.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the many effects of the Crusades was that the pope and the kings of Western Europe became more powerful. In addition, Europeans began to trade with the Middle East. Trade increased as Western Europeans began to buy products like sugar, lemons, and spices.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Crusades helped bring about social change in Europe. They helped bring wealth and power to the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, and in the process, helped the church gain more control over the lives of kings, nobles, and the average European during the Middle Ages.
