CRUSADES (1096-1291) • In the 11th century, the Seljik Turks captured the “Holy Land” and drove out Christian pilgrims. • Outraged, Pope Urban II called on all Christians of Europe to unite and launch a holy Crusade – a war to recapture the Holy Land from the Muslims. The Pope promised immediate forgiveness for all sins (and entry into heaven) for any crusader who died in battle. • Seven crusades were fought over the next two hundred years!!

  2. CRUSADES (1096-1291) • The First Crusade gained control of Jerusalem by 1099, took control, and massacred the inhabitants. • But, the Muslims pushed back.

  4. Crusades – Religious Warfare Many Jewish communities throughout Europe and the Middle East were tempting targets for marauding Crusaders looking for infidels to attack. Caught between two warring religions, these communities were attacked by Christians & Muslims at this time.

  5. EFFECTS OF THECRUSADES Cultural Diffusion:Europeans were exposed to new ideas --the zero-- in mathematics, and products such as silk, spices, and coffee. Increased Trade:Demand for products like spices, sugar, lemons, perfumes, and rugs led to increased trade.
