The Failure of The Crusades

Many people will think that in November 1095, Pope Urbanton II of Clermont, France, sparked a military struggle to regain control of the Holy Land. The pope made a speech after the group. In the speech, he helped Western Europeans and Franks go east, helping their Christian brothers attack the Muslim Turks, and again took over Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the most sacred land and the most popular city in the majority of Christ's life, but has been ruled by Muslims since BC.

Perhaps the most important thing we should remember is that the crusade is a major failure from a political and military point of view when everything is over. The first crusade was successful enough and European leaders were able to draw kingdoms including cities such as Jerusalem, acres, Bethlehem, Antioch. But then, everything has gone downhill. The kingdom of Jerusalem will exist in some way for hundreds of years, but it is always in an unstable position. It is based on long narrow narrow lands without natural barriers, and its population has never been completely conquered. A new reinforcement from Europe is necessary, but it does not always come (the testee does not necessarily live to see Jerusalem).

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.

Not surprisingly, over the centuries the Iberian Crusaders developed their own characteristics: "pilgrimage" is not much more important than the Crusade of the Holy Land, they are influenced by the Iberian monarchy ( In particular it is a strict regulation of Leon - Castile and they are more successful than the East (especially after the battle of Las Navas in 1212), they rely on more regional and regional military orders; and Iberia "Crusader country" - a country different from the sacred place - has laid a strong financial and administrative foundation for starting a political war and crusade.Of course, this explains the whole history of what is called Reconquista It is not a thing, but it highlights the unique church and religious aspects of this process - this dimension is a later medieval Latin Christian world for the historical structure of war It is organic.
