Summary of passage

The Crusades were a series of wars fought in the Middle Ages between Christians and Muslims over control of the Holy Land. Lasting for about 200 years, knights and soldiers from Europe traveled to the Holy Land to fight for God and protect Jerusalem. Led by Pope Urban II, the first Crusade called on Christians to reclaim Jerusalem, resulting in a long and dangerous journey for thousands. The Crusades impacted trade and culture in Europe, introducing new ideas and technologies from the Muslim world. While the Christians won some battles and captured Jerusalem, the Muslims ultimately reclaimed the Holy Land, ending the Crusades. Remembered for conflict and cultural exchange, the Crusades shaped the world we live in today, showcasing the complexities of religion, politics, and culture in times of war and peace.
