they important?
•  The crusades were a series of religious wars
between European Christians and Muslims.

to new ideas and brought back the ideas of
classical Rome.

relationship between Muslims, Christians, and
Jews that still impacts the world today.
What were they fighting over?
The Holy Land
•  This is the area
surrounding the city of
Jerusalem, and is holy to
all 3 major religions:
Judaism, Christianity, and
Islam. It is the traditional
homeland of the Jews, it
is where Jesus lived, and
it is where Muhammad is
said to have risen to
heaven in his Night
Journey.

crusades was for
Christians to gain control
