Detailed explanation-1: -On November 27, 1095, Pope Urban II makes perhaps the most influential speech of the Middle Ages, giving rise to the Crusades by calling all Christians in Europe to war against Muslims in order to reclaim the Holy Land, with a cry of “Deus vult!” or “God wills it!”
Detailed explanation-2: -Description. The Second Crusade (1145-1149) was an extraordinarily bold attempt to overcome unbelievers on no less than three fronts. Crusader armies set out to defeat Muslims in the Holy Land and in Iberia as well as pagans in northeastern Europe.
Detailed explanation-3: -In fact, religious intolerance increased during and after the Crusades. During the 200 years of the Crusades, Christians killed thousands of Muslims and Muslims killed thousands of Christians. In fact, some Western European Christians killed Eastern European Christians because they dressed like Muslims!
Detailed explanation-4: -Most crusades came from what had been the Carolingian Empire around 800. The empire had disintegrated, and two loosely unified successor states had taken its place: the Holy Roman Empire, which encompassed Germany, northern Italy, and the neighbouring lands; and France.
Detailed explanation-5: -There have been eight popes named Urban in the Roman Catholic Church.
