Detailed explanation-1: -> Increased trade and economy in Europe 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-2: -Trade between East and West greatly increased. More exotic goods entered Europe than ever before, such as spices (especially pepper and cinnamon), sugar, dates, pistachio nuts, watermelons, and lemons. Cotton cloth, Persian carpets, and eastern clothing came, too.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Crusades and trade with the East brought an end to Europe’s stagnant economy by giving way to the rise of powerful nation-states. As merchants in Europe acquired wealth, they grew interested in protecting their trade routes and livelihood-warfare and instability were bad for business.
