Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Roman Catholic Church experienced an increase in wealth, and the power of the Pope was elevated during the Crusades. Trade and transportation also improved throughout Europe as a result of the Crusades.

Detailed explanation-2: -> 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-3: -The Crusaders brought back to Europe many new goods, including oil, spices, and new varieties of fruit from the Muslim world. Europeans wanted more of these goods. This led to increased trade between Europe and the East.

Crusading also played a role in the conquest of the Iberian peninsula (now Spain and Portugal).
