>>147557Alot of peope died for no reason and a heap of whites and meds destabilized the harmonious relationship of multiple different religions (nu-islam, christianity, Judaism).
Nothing was accomplised except maybe fucking up dune-people in dune-land and unifying the competition. A trend that continued into the modern day, aka Afghanistan.
Whypypol sure are good at fucking up pathologically. Clockwork.
>>147557>Redpill me on the crusadesWhat do you think you are "bluepilled" on? Which crusade? Be specific.
>>147559both but mostly on why some people think they were good or atleast justified
>>147557a waste of time since all gains have been lost
also lead to the foothold of turks in europe
>>147557A fight to retake the holy land that was lost due to a bunch of heretical savages having taken advantage over a weakened eastern empires poor choice in conflicts. The first and second were examples of Christ intervening to save the souls of those who fought to retake the holy land. All other crusades were a waste of resources and should have been focused on defending territories won from the first two. Byzantines loss was caused by (((merchants))) from Venice.
>>147557It was the very first case of "die for Israel, goyim!"
>"OY VEY, THE MUDSLIMES TOOK OUR LAND AND ARE MASSACRING OUR WOMEN AND CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF GOAT FUCKER MUHAMMAD!">Goyim "WE MUST TAKE JERUSALEM! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT! DEUS VULT!".meme>Goyim crusaders DEUS VULT Mudslimes and other Goat fuckers.>"Good goyim, give us our land back!">Good Goyim gives land back, only for Jews to continue to fuck them over and deny Christ again and again.All for nothing.
>>147650You do realize that Jews who aided the Moslems were massacred at the Sack of Jerusalem? The Kingdom of Jerusalem was for Christians by Christians, nothing Jewish about it.
Also, it was more symbolic than fighting over a patch of dirt. Muslims had conquered more and more of Christian lands and the Crusades were a message by a united Europe of "No more!" It slowed or stopped Muslim conquest for a couple hundred years.
The goal of the Crusades when it began was to finally do something about the hundreds of years of Muslim raiding and pillaging and to unite the waring Christian kingdoms of Europe under the cross to stop Muslim conquest in Europe and take back the Holy Land for Christians to make pilgrimages again. The first one was a success and established Christian kingdoms such as the Kingdom of Antioch and Kingdom of Jerusalem as a foothold in the Middle East as well as serving key trading places of wealth and knowledge. I don't know much about the second one other than the Muslims tried to take Jerusalem but the Christians stopped them. The third one was the most well known and largest and we pretty much know how this one went; Muslims successfully took Jerusalem and although the Crusaders managed to keep key provenances and cites, they failed to retake Jerusalem but at the time since they still had many footholds and territories across the Levant, a possible retaking was possible later on. However the forth crusade was such a colossal fuck up with Crusaders sacking fellow Christians in Byzantium and seiging Constantinople, leading a broken and dying Byzantium to their doom later to the Turks, later becoming the Ottomans. Pretty much after that if didn't really matter that much anymore as it was less of a mission of God but the other Christian kingdoms seeking to politically one up the other and later on the Muslims retaking the Holy Land entirely.
Also do not think the Holy Land was just Israel middle ages edition. Both Christians and Muslims knew the dangers of the jew and persecute them every chance they got, making sure they wouldn't cause any influence whatsoever. All the Christian and Muslim kingdoms had no jewish influence whatsoever and Europe didn't fight for "muh God's chosen people", they fought to take the fight to the Muslims and retake the Holy Land for Christian pilgrimages that the Muslims denied them from.
TL;DR: The Pope launched the crusade to fight against the Muslims that was sacking and raiding southern Europe for hundreds of years, stop the internal warring of European kingdoms and unite them against the Muslims, and retake the Holy Land so Christians can pilgrimage to the Holy places again. Later on it stopped being about that and more political gains.
>>147558The crusades were started in response to islamic aggression along with a plethora of economic and political reasons in europe at the time. You are an ignorant shitter and should get the fuck out and read a book.
>>147749Wtf?! me and my redhead girl (both christian) actually haved that issue here in Mexico when i was 13y/o, a fucker like 30 years old was always commenting shit in her facebook.
