The Crusades: A Successful Failure

Constantinople founder Constantin insisted on the great Byzantine Empire and inherited the new Holy Roman Empire. At the Milan Ordinance in 313, Constantine declared religious tolerance for Christians through the Empire, and soon religion spread. Then Constantine converted Byzantium into a new capital of the Roman Empire later known as Constantinople. The new capital has benefits from being close to the eastern border, then has a better trade advantage, and the military 's rational position is protected by water in all three directions.

There is a Western European ambition to capture the more specific sources of division, the historic competition between the Pope and the emperor, and the remnants of the Italian empire from Byzantine. This is the result of the Crusaders failing to protect the sacred place forever. Because Christianity did not succeed, responsibility is assigned to either party. On the other hand, the Crusades are seen as the best part of the opportunists occupying the Byzantine Empire in the eastern part, but Byzantine is believed to lack the will to fight ordinary Muslim enemies. In a sense, the judgment of both parties is correct.

As is often the case in history, the Crusades are more convincing in their failure than their success. For them, the authenticity of the Pope as an agent of the god of the world suffered irrevocable damage in the Middle Ages, especially those that did not go well. That's right. However, people who have succeeded in some fields have achieved great results over time. For example, in order to lay the foundation for the destruction of the Byzantine Empire, without any other reason, Byzantium can no longer serve as a buffer against the expansion of the Muslims to the west, which is almost to the gospel to Europe It can not be considered. It opened the invasion of Turkey by Eastern Europe, and the result can still be seen in the recent conflicts between heterologous religions of the Balkans. Ironically, the two sides that stimulated these major experiments at foreign atrocities suffered from the greatest trials after all, after all, Byzantine and the Pope.

After the fourth crusade did not enter Constantinople or arrive in Jerusalem, Innocent III launched its first campaign against the French cattle and the state of Toulouse, the heathen, Albigensian Crusade. In the early decades of this century the cartel was deported to the ground and the French monarchy dominated the area. Andrew II in Hungary began the Bosnian Crusade for a long time against the Bosnian church, theological Catholics, but against the Roman Catholic church. The conflict was terminated only when the Mongolians invaded Hungary in 1241. In the Iberian Peninsula, orders to help the Knights of Templars, hospitals and Iberia, merged with Order of Calatrava and Order of San Diego, were issued under the crusade's privilege.
