Base your answer to question 10 on the statements below and on your knowledge of social studies.
. . . For many in the contemporary Arab
world, the Crusades are viewed as having
begun nearly a millennium of conflict with
what would become the West. The Crusades
are seen as representing the constant threat
of Western encroachment [trespassing].
But many scholars say that is a more recent
and inaccurate view of the Crusades. . . .
— Mike Shuster, reporter, NPR
The Medieval Crusades were taken and
then turned into something that they never
really were in the first place. They were
turned into a kind of a proto-imperialism, an
attempt to bring the fruits of European
civilization to the Middle East, when, in fact,
during the Middle Ages the great
sophisticated and wealthy power was the
Muslim world. Europe was the Third
World. . . .
