The Crusades
The first of the Crusades began in 1095, when armies of Christians
from Western Europe responded to Pope Urban II's plea to go to war
against Muslim forces in the Holy Land. After the First Crusade
achieved its goal with the capture of Jerusalem in 1099, the invading
Christians set up several Latin Christian states, even as Muslims in the
region vowed to wage holy war (jihad) to regain control over the region.
Deteriorating relations between the Crusaders and their Christian allies
in the Byzantine Empire culminated in the sack of Constantinople in
1204 during the Third Crusade. Near the end of the 13th century, the
rising Mamluk dynasty in Egypt provided the final reckoning for the
Crusaders, toppling the coastal stronghold of Acre and driving the
European invaders out of Palestine and Syria in 1291.
