Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Similarly, but not as deep and wide as on the Western Europe, the Crusades impact could be seen on some socio-religious elements of the Muslim world. Further, the bitter legacy of these wars widened the hostility, hatred, and dissent between the West and the Muslim world that still is perceived in one way or the other.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Crusades also negatively impacted the Muslim-Christian relations-widened the gap, and led to the mutual hatred and hostility. In addition, Christianity also got fractured into two factions: Greek and Latin.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most important effects of the Crusades was the increased trade and economy. During the Crusades, many Crusaders were fascinated by the luxury goods they found in the Middle East and took them back home as soon as the Crusades ended.

Detailed explanation-4: -In the end, the crusade in the east was a failure for the crusaders and a victory for the Muslims. It would ultimately have a key influence on the fall of Jerusalem and give rise to the Third Crusade at the end of the 12th century.

Detailed explanation-5: -How did the Crusades contribute to the end of medieval Europe? The Crusades helped to break down feudalism.
