Detailed explanation-1: -The Crusades, armed campaigns mounted to win control of the Holy Land, were understood as a particular kind of pilgrimage, and so were many of the quests pursued by knights in life and legend.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Crusades were organized by western European Christians after centuries of Muslim wars of expansion. Their primary objectives were to stop the expansion of Muslim states, to reclaim for Christianity the Holy Land in the Middle East, and to recapture territories that had formerly been Christian.
Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Crusading in northern and eastern Europe led to the expansion of kingdoms like Denmark and Sweden, as well as the creation of brand-new political units, for example in Prussia. As areas around the Baltic Sea were taken by the crusaders, traders and settlers-mostly German-moved in and profited economically.
