Detailed explanation-1: -The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of holy sites considered sacred by both groups. In all, eight major Crusade expeditions-varying in size, strength and degree of success-occurred between 1096 and 1291.
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.
