    It could be said that European kings and nobles in the Middle Ages were Crusade mad. The enormous amount of fighting men who periodically sailed off to the Near East to do battle with Muslims are evidence of the widespread popularity of overseas adventurism at the time. The notion of a Crusade, in which large armies assembled from various regions of Europe for the purpose of doing battle with Turkish and Arab Muslims, became so fixed that it was expanded to include Crusades against heretical European Christian sects.

    You forgot the mention some important details about Barbarossa at the third crusade. He and his son utterly crushed seljuk turks at two notable battles, Battle of Philomelion and Battle of Iconium (1190). Iconium was the capital city of seljuk turks and these were remarkable victories. Sadly he has lost his life from natural causes. (drowned in the river while crossing with his horse)Afterward, the HRE army demoralized and disbanded, despite the effort of the Duke of Savoy to maintain integrity. If that unfortunate accident didn't happen, probably the Germans would have combined with Richard's army, and together they retook Jerusalem from saladin. In the other words, his death saved muslims( the real cause of his death was a heart attack, that's why he fell off his horse when crossing the river)

      Crusades weren't a 'thing' until 1095 when Pope Urban made his speech at Claremont.
      1066 was notable for the Battle of Hastings and the introduction of the Normans in to England.
      They set up the nobility (aristocracy) and built defensive castles which the locals were in awe of. They also introduced continental cuisine to the masses. Their legacy lives on. Britain still has an aristocracy (notably depleted and much poorer now) and we love french food. So much more but a post simply isn't long enough plus my knowledge is limited.

According to Byzantine historic accounts, it was not just a defeat but an utter devastation of the Crusader’s army and it is definitely noteworthy in this video.

      If you're Slavic, you realize that Christians enslaved and deported more pagan Slavs than Muslims before the Crusades? In fact, there was an entire Northern Crusade led by Teutonic Knights (colonizers) directly targeting Slavic and Baltic peoples, with the aim to enslave them and depopulate their lands for German Christian settlement. Once the Slavs (Poles and Ruthenians) converted to Christianity, the Teutonic Knights/Prussia still committed wholesale genocide against them.
      So, slavic fighter, no talk about Christian atrocities against your people? Christian atrocities committed all over Europe in the name of forced conversion? Sounds like you have a gripe against the wrong religion...

      This video is bias, and the facts are far more complicated. The other side would tell you that the Crusades were organized by western European Christians after centuries of Muslim wars of expansion. Their primary objectives were to stop the expansion of Muslim states, to reclaim for Christianity the Holy Land in the Middle East, and to recapture territories that had formerly been Christian. Many participants also believed that undertaking what they saw as holy war was a means of redemption and a way of achieving expiation of sins.

    While spirituality and a belief in the Devine (divine) can be a good thing, throughout the ages it has unfortunately been tainted by politicians and proselytizer's who would use it to manipulate the populace for their own gain, having nothing to do with God or spirituality in the first place. Once we realize this, indeed if it is even possible, we may learn to love each other as the human race once again since we are all much more alike than different, though in our difference and diversity we find the richness that is all man kind.

    All Facts You Need To Know by chat GPT:
    There were 9 crusades in total
    The crusades were mostly wars that were centered around the middle East and Turkey - Europeans wanted to have control over these areas for many strategical, positional and tactical reasons. The main excuse was for Christians to be able to reach and control Jerusalem and as much territory from the middle East as possible for religious reasons.
    - - - -
    First Crusade (1096-1099):
    Leaders: Various European nobles, including Godfrey of Bouillon, Raymond IV of Toulouse, and Bohemond of Taranto.
    Outcome: The First Crusade resulted in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 by the Crusaders. They established several Crusader states in the Levant.
    - - - -
    Second Crusade (1147-1149):
    Leaders: King Louis VII of France and Emperor Conrad III of the Holy Roman Empire.
    Outcome: The Second Crusade was largely unsuccessful. The Crusaders failed to recapture the city of Edessa, and there were no significant territorial gains.
    - - - -
    Third Crusade (1189-1192):
    Leaders: Richard the Lionheart of England, King Philip II of France, and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I.
    Outcome: The Crusade resulted in a truce between the Crusaders and Saladin, allowing Christian pilgrims access to Jerusalem. However, Jerusalem remained under Muslim control.
    - - - -
    Fourth Crusade (1202-1204):
    Leaders: Various European leaders, but the Crusaders were manipulated into diverting to Constantinople, leading to the sacking of the city.
    Outcome: The Fourth Crusade did not achieve its intended goal of reaching the Holy Land. Instead, it led to the weakening of the Byzantine Empire.
    - - - -
    Fifth Crusade (1217-1221):
    Leaders: Andrew II of Hungary, Duke Leopold VI of Austria, and John of Brienne.
    Outcome: The Crusaders managed to capture Damietta in Egypt but were ultimately defeated, and the Holy Land remained mostly under Muslim control.
    - - - -
    Sixth Crusade (1228-1229):
    Leader: Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II.
    Outcome: Frederick II negotiated a peaceful transfer of Jerusalem to Christian control through a treaty with the Ayyubid Sultan al-Kamil.
    - - - -
    Seventh Crusade (1248-1254):
    Leader: Louis IX of France (Saint Louis).
    Outcome: The Crusaders experienced military failures, and Louis IX was captured. The Seventh Crusade did not achieve its objectives in the Holy Land.
    - - - -
    Eighth Crusade (1270):
    Leader: Louis IX of France (Saint Louis).
    Outcome: The Eighth Crusade ended in failure, with Louis IX dying of illness in Tunisia. There were no significant territorial gains.
    - - - -
    Ninth Crusade (1271-1272):
    Leader: Prince Edward (later Edward I of England).
    Outcome: The Ninth Crusade achieved little in terms of territorial gains, but it marked one of the last major attempts to influence the situation in the Holy Land.

Even if it was weak but still existed and the capital was heavily defended not like they walked in without any fight, so losing territory has nothing to do with the actual end of the empire, here's Germany for example, in ww2 after invading Europe lost a lot of teritory, did it seased to exist?

      Prophet Muhamed sent emmisionaries/ambassadors to many kingdoms to embrace Islam. One of the regional leader in Jerusalem upon hearing this message killed the emissionary/ambassador. And this sparked a war for killing an ambassador only means your transgression to one nation. God dictates fight those who fight you. Its is only right to defend yourself so Prophet Muhammed lead an army to Byzantine and striked them one by one along with a newly convert military general Khalid ib Waleed whom was dubbed by Prophet Muhammed as the right hand of Allah and since then Khalid ibn Waleed never lost a war. That is a general overview of how the arab muslims won jerusalem. One of the caliphs also abolished a law which was once jews banned from entering jerusalem. The caliph abolished that law and allowed jews and christian to have pilgrimage to Jerusalem. There was more equality and harmony in the society as opposed with the previous rule.

      Christians enslaved and deported more Northern, Central and Eastern Europeans than Muslims before the Crusades. In fact, there was an entire Northern Crusade led by Teutonic Knights (colonizers) directly targeting Slavic and Baltic peoples, with the aim to enslave them and depopulate their lands for German Christian settlement. Once the Slavs (Poles and Ruthenians) converted to Christianity, the Teutonic Knights/Prussia still committed wholesale genocide against them.

      That is incorrect and a common misconception. You seem to get your views about Islam from your media which portrays islam as savage and violent. This fear of Islam became a thing after 9/11 where westerners got scared of muslims, even mistaking Sikhs for muslims.
      Christianity did have an empire, the Roman empire became Christian in the 4th century.
      Arab conquests which you think of were not originally conquests to convert people, this is just incorrect. The Arabs In the early days preferred jiyza which was to tax non christians which helped fund their wars of conquest and their conquests were no more violent than any other empire.
      The time when conversion became more of a thing was when the Abbasid Caliphate ruled which is centuries later. The Umayyad caliphate had been discriminating against new converts to Islam and non Arabs which is one of the reasons for their overthrow by the Abbasids. Abbasids were less expansionist and more welcoming of new converts from other ethnicities. This is also the time where the Islamic golden age began.
      The common mistake westerners make about Islam is that they think an entire population just became Muslim by force as soon as they were conquered. This view is a false one as there would be no point in the jiyza at all if that was the case. You also can't paint all of Islam with a broad brush. There were different periods of time with different laws and different rulers. Some rulers were good and some bad, instead of the narrative that claims all were evil. As Christians too had leaders good and bad.
      Even when it came to tolerance (not by today's standards) islamic regions were more tolerant than Christian kingdoms where you were more likely to be persecuted for being a non Christian compared to islamic regions where non muslims lived. Of course they were not treated as well as muslims, the dominant religion will want it's own put at the top.
      Which is why you can't view history as black and white.
      But it's also incorrect to say Islam spread by violence when most people chose on their own volition to convert. You also had places affected by trade that converted. Parts of Africa that never were ruled by the caliphates were converted through trade. Indonesia and Bangladesh are others affected through trade.
      To think Christianity was peaceful would be a lie as the church played a huge role in colonialism which is why many traditional religions and cultures were destroyed in the new world and africa. Even though Ethiopia had been Christian, many other parts of Africa still followed traditional religions, the only ones not affected were the Islamic regions. But many Africans would become Christian and even though having the same religion, they're treated with distain for being the wrong skin colour. This is the same for indigenous peoples of america and other places like Australia, new Zealand, Pacific islanders. So I wouldn't get into the moral argument.
      If you were actually following your religion, you wouldn't be a hateful person as Jesus did not teach hate and said to forgive. You may want to read the Bible again. Crusades weren't really Christians Vs muslims either, Christians fought other christians, pagans, jews. So you shouldn't be praising these events and should learn from why you shouldn't repeat them.
      I am not religious so I don't hold the view of "were good they're bad" when it comes to religion.
