CrusadesJoin now to read essay CrusadesWhile the goal of the Christian Crusades was only successful once, it still brought about many changes in the time including an end to feudalism, advancement in warfare, and expansion of trade. The Seljuq Turks began to take over “the Holy Land” in Palestine and this upset Pope Urban II. He was eager to regain the Holy Land and thus began the First Crusade. The French and Italian lords led armies through Palestine to their main target Jerusalem. They were heavy armor and wool while marching through the desert and because of this some died of heat exhaustion. Despite this problem, they reached Jerusalem and after many vicious battles the city was captured. Now most of the Holy Land was under European control. The Europeans brought many of their customs with them including feudalism.
The Turks slowly began to regain control of the Holy Land. They united and began to take back cities that were captured as a result the Second Crusade began. King Louis VII and Conrad III led armies to Damascus but they failed to recapture the city and the Turks still held power. In 1187 Saladin, a Muslim leader, gained control of Jerusalem. Frederick Barbarossa, King Philip II, and King Richard I led armies to take back the Holy Land in the Third Crusade. On the way there Barbarossa drowned so his army turned back.

On 7 May 1165, a Protestant church in the village of Habsburg surrendered to an Ottoman group and the Ottomans took over of the entire village. The Ottomans had a fleet of warships that was called the Great Crusaders.
After returning to the Kingdom the Holy Roman Empire and the Crusades were won in 1212 by King Henry VIII. In 1343 in order to become a fully democratic nation, they agreed to a plebiscite, voting only for themselves. This created a division within the Roman Empire which led to a bloody war between them which eventually left the entire Church disowned by both parties. In 1348 Pope Gregory XIII was declared Emperor by the Pope. Pope Gregory XIII was a Muslim and a believer of Islam. His name was Abun-dul Wahid II (a Christian) and a Christian to the Protestant Church. He founded the Institute for Islam, a small religious organization in Italy known after the Crusades as the American Institute for Religion, which was part of the American Mission on the Holy Land. For over 50 years he led it for the American missions which include the Crusades. At the time, Abun-dul Wahid was not considered Muslim to the point of being considered illegitimate even though he claimed to be one. By the end of the crusades he was no longer considered to be the “King of Islam” and for good reason as of his death in 1455. However Abun-dul Wahid’s name is mentioned by the French in several passages in his works, in which he was a prophet, in 1225 he was executed.
The Church of Islam eventually became one of only two political groups of Arab countries which were able to join the United States as a civilised entity. The Church of Islam was the second most powerful political force in Arab countries after Saudi Arabia in power in the 1980s.

The Knights Templar was the most powerful foreign religious organization of the 16th century and the founder of the Knights Templar in 1511. It was an important religious community with huge numbers of priests and ministers of the Order Templar. The Knights Templar were also the most influential religious group in the Middle East, especially during the 13th century, when King Charles I ruled in 1204, which is why many Catholic priests in Arabia were called Knights Templars. The Templars were considered the ruling power throughout the region but not everyone believed them. In fact, Charles I had to resort to an extreme punishment to avoid offending the Muslims in Mecca.
