Detailed explanation-1: -The objective was the recovery of the Holy Land from Islamic rule. While Jerusalem had been under Muslim rule for hundreds of years, by the 11th century the Seljuk takeover of the region threatened local Christian populations, pilgrimages from the West, and the Byzantine Empire itself.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
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: -What two aspects of Christianity helped drive the Crusaders to embark on the Crusades? The Crusades drew inspiration from two Christian institutions, pilgrimage and holy war.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Nicaean Empire eventually recovered Constantinople and restored the Byzantine Empire in 1261. The Fourth Crusade is considered to have solidified the East–West Schism. The crusade dealt an irrevocable blow to the Byzantine/Roman Empire, contributing to its decline and fall.
