Causes for the Crusades

The reason for the crusades was a war between Christians and Muslims which centered around the city of Jerusalem and the holy places of Palestine.

Death bringing Weapons of the Crusades. Christian weapons have a straighter and cleaner looking shape using polygons with sharp corners. Muslim weapons had more bowed weapons using long bent edges and fancy tips to each corner and end of lines.

Why was Jerusalem so important? Jerusalem was important to the Christians and Muslims because this single area was home to both religions. The Christians had expanded from Jerusalem and went to go spread their religion. While the Muslims had moved in to tour the area where their profit Muhammad had rising into paradise with their god Allah they had driven out the christian religion and caused conflict over who should rule the area. This is kind of like you going on vacation for a month and found a squatter in you house, but the squatter has started a family and has religions ties to your house. You would want the foreign person out but they have done nothing wrong. You need your house back and the olny way is battle, you and the other person are heavily armed and it will take years and countless lives to solve the conflict. At the time nobody's future is certain, all you know that the area or your home in this case will take damage and never be the same for the rest of time. @Sources
