**​ THE CRUSADES** 1st Crusade The Muslims captured Jerusalem, the most holy of holy places for the Christians, in 1076. Jerusalem was equally as important to both sides because Jesus spent most of his life there and Muhammad founded the Muslim faith there. The First Crusade was very important to Midieval England. The main idea was to re-capture the once lost Jerusalem. Many people volunteered to fight the raging cause. Most Christians fought for the sake of God.

The Second Crusade started in 1147 and ended in 1149. The cause of the second Crusade was the capture of the city Edessa by the Turks. The Turks killed or sold the population of this city. This disaster threw a great alarm to the Christians because their hard earned state was destroyed. This Cruade did absolutly nothing. This sign shows exactly what happened in the 2nd crusade.3rd Crusade Saladin was founded in the Mulslim world. He was the leader in the holy war with the Christians.He was very commited to the Mulslim religion. He plained on taking back Jerusalem. The Christians heard and prepared for war. Finally towards the end of the war a truce was formed between Richard and Saladin. This picture explains how the christains prepared for war. 4th Crusade​ Pope Innocent was the real cause of the 4th Crusade. Rome was the objective point decided by the rulers in the 4th Crusade. They did this to secure transportation across the Mediterranean. A new breed of turks started to form. They knew how to fight and took Rome by a storm. Running wild throughout the city destroying many buildings and people. This was the cause of Constantinople's fall. With these many attacks he could not hold on and fell to the attacking Turks. Which allowed the Turks to gain a great foothole on europe. This is Rome one of the major moving points in the 4th Crusade. Children Crusades​ The Children Crusade started in 1212 after the 4th Crusade. The Christaints were almost compleatly wiped out. They went off to capture the holy land once again. But this time brought something new...Children! With troops running low these people needed more people to fight so they enlisted many young children 8 and up. This was a disaster once they had reached the land they were slaughtered instantly by the unfooled troops. The children Crusade was the worst out of all of them and it didn't work. Knights like these were killed in the childrens crusades.
