Why did The Crusades Fail?
The crusades were a miraculous combined effort of multiple Christian nations throughout Europe to unify and take back the Holy Land from their Muslim adversaries. A spectacular feat, given how much Europe’s nations were usually at war with each other, the crusades should, in theory, have been a mighty display of passion and strength. Yet, somehow, the crusades failed. Why, and how, did this happen?...

8th Crusade be like : "Nah that Jerusalem is hard to capture, let's just take some random land in north Africa".
Trust me jerusalem will fall very easy now...
@Jason Stark Then I guess U don't know about allauddin khilji,Tamiur, Mohamed ghazni,ghaznavi,aurengzebd,Hyder Ali,lodhi empire,tipu sultan. Who were force converting by sword, killing, looting temple's,massacreing Sikhs Hindus Christians etc.
@Jason Stark Lmao the entire religion of Islam is founded upon an aggressive “caliphate” slaughter doctrine please calm your revisionist bullshit down
@Jason Stark I’m the stupid brainwashed simpleton? There’s nothing to prove to you, you already got enough arguments on you that you cannot refute on this thread, the only simpleton here is the one absorbing what’s essentially nothing but a modern revisionist narrative! Hahaha!
@Jason Stark A typical BS response of Islamists just trying to coverup what Islam is,so stop justifying it here Nd reform that stupid religion or ideology.
3rd Crusade: "Man, what a disaster! We need a new plan of attack." 4th Crusade: "I got an idea..."
If you can't beat the heathen then let's beat the heretic
disaster? well they reclaimed much of the lost territory, I wouldn't call this a disaster.
@Cris javier lol , it was the popes call
Ironically they could have succeeded with the original plan because Alexandria was a welcoming city to the Christians and the Sultan of Egypt was a moron
@الظلام علي actually he wasn't so dumb true, but wasn't a war focused leader. He actually Al Adil I actually tried to make good reoations and trade with the crusader states to prevent another crusade. The point is that the crusaders would have Alexandria, wgich had a very large population of christians at the time, as an easy access point and they managed to sack Constantinople, which was the most defensible city in the world. Before that, Constantinople was considered almost impossible to capture since it's surrounded by sea on three sides and thick walls on one.
I dont think it was right to have called Saladin infamous, because, if you read about his life, he was probably one of the most generous person and kind-hearted and well respected ruler of that time.
Chivalrous to put it shortly.
Infamous from the view of the crusaders probably
@@TWISTEDxJOKERII the christians and muslims alike respect saladin for his piety and generosity
He was not kind, he wouldn't and failed to pay the ransom for many Muslims in an agreement with Richard the lionhearted, many of his nobles and militia hated him for it and he found it increasingly harder to get men to defend forts and cities. go research more. He was a respected man in his own right...but be under no illusion, he was a tyrant in many ways
as a turk guys we are outstanding warrior your grantfathers knows our
During the Second Crusade, some 3,000 French knights were starved in southwest Anatolia after the war. The Seljuk soldiers, whom they fought yesterday, were dying of hunger, and the food and drink aid was given to 3,000 French knights who were left in the enemy's territory. The French soldiers changed their religion and became Muslims after a while.
I'd rather have a honorable enemy then a fake friend
And one of the French Slaves stabbed Zengi, soo.

Historians: you lost Crusaders: I didn’t lose, I simply failed to win
Lmao Oversimplified America civil war reference
I don’t necessarily think it’s that easy to say whether major campaigns like that are “lost” or “won” considering we have no ability to do an A/B test of the alternative. I personally think you would have seen a lot more Islamic conquest, that made it further into central and Western Europe during the Middle Ages if there were no crusade and no pushback against islamism. It’s kind of like when people try to say domino theory was disproven by Vietnam. Was it? I don’t think so....who knows where things would have gone without US intervention against soviet expansion in the third world. Similarly without the crusades Islam wouldn’t have stopped and been largely contained among Arabs in the Mid East. The ottomans made it to Vienna but that’s about as far as they got because of resistance. You can’t just declare something like the crusades a useless and unnecessary war. Tell me that the Muslim siege and conquest of Jerusalem was something to let slide when it happens to NYC, London or some major city that you care about and that effects your life and livelihoods. I think if people had more of the facts they’d understand that doing nothing about the siege of Jerusalem would be like the US doing nothing about 9/11 or Israel just taking Hamas rockets without retaliating. Sounds nice, but only if you’re a weak pussy that doesn’t deserve to have a nation let alone lead it!
Also when you don’t arbitrarily cut off the timeline of the fight for the holy land somewhere in the ottoman controlled 15th century or something then the west is currently winning the war for control of the holy land. Israel and Zionism were always as much about having a friend of the western powers in that region as it was about giving the Jewish people their ancestral homeland back. As a US citizen and non-Jewish Zionist that just saw islamists getting their asses kicked by US/Israeli weaponry...were definitely winning!
@@logicalconceptofficial Agreed, Thanks to President Trump to recognise Jerusalem as capital of Israel. God bless Israel and America!
Saladin go brrrrr
I studied Humanities in a Jerusalemite school, and we played a game once imitating the events of the 3rd crusade. I played Seif Adin, Salah Adin (mentioned in the video as Saadin)'s brother. It was fairly easy to demoralize and split apart the various crusaders. I can imagine the European infighting having doomed these campaigns more often than not.
Some of the most notable Muslim victories during the Crusades include: -Battle of Hattin (1187): This was a decisive victory for the Muslim forces led by Saladin against the Crusader army led by King Guy of Jerusalem. The Crusader army was largely destroyed, and many of its leaders were captured or killed, including King Guy. -Siege of Jerusalem (1187): Following the victory at the Battle of Hattin, Saladin was able to capture Jerusalem, which had been held by the Crusaders since 1099. The city was taken without bloodshed, and Saladin allowed the Christian inhabitants to leave unharmed. -Battle of Ain Jalut (1260): This was a major victory for the Muslim forces led by Qutuz and Baybars against the Mongol army led by Hulagu Khan. The Mongol advance into the Middle East was halted, and the Muslim forces were able to establish a more secure position in the region. These victories were significant in terms of the impact they had on the Crusades and the balance of power in the region. They also played a role in shaping the history of the Middle East and the relationship between the Muslim and Christian worlds.
Battle of field of blood Second battle of antioch Battle of Damietta
The battle of Ain Julut was not led by Khulagu Khan, Khulegu left one of his generals(Khetbukha) with a vanguard of his army. It was a loss, but it was definitely not the majority of the mongol army and only a mere vanguard
Battle of la forbe
Hulugu turned back before the Mamluk victory against the Mongols. Had he not, a different outcome in the battle would be quite possible.
@@Demaybe1661 thing is, mongols came back and baibar still defeated them...
Bible said : "Love your enemies.." Crusaders :"Not before the 9th invasion. "
Bible : "Turn the other cheek" Crusader : "let's spread this sentence to our prey so they don't resist when we massacre them"
There is a difference between "Don't Commit murder" and "Don't fight Wars" by this logic all Soldiers are Murders, this was the logic that the Crusaders went with, does not make them good guys especially with all the Sacking but still.

@@Ducks659 but it did say that should Islam be threatened by existential threat that they should use Violence as a last resort, this is the same with the Crusades But basically almost everytime it was fuel by Political and Strategic decision Instead of Moral or Even Religious ones at least for the Men of the cloth that called them (even though they partially believed it to be), the Boots on the ground though are completely sold on the idea usually.

Short answer. Going on Crusade was too costly and time consuming, and it was very risky for European monarchs to travel hundreds of miles or more to fight strangers in far away lands when their immediate neighbors or rebellious nobles might take advantage of their absence.

I had also read that some of the first crusades, whıch choose the land path through anatolia, were drastically weakened by the guerilla tactics driven by small groups of horseback archer turcomans. highly armored crusades are extremely slow, whereas horseback archers are indeed quite fast. european armies are typically infantary, whereas nomadic armies are always mounted. and yes, their high-tech bows and arrows can pierce armor.
You hear excuses. They lost fair and square.
Why do you say nomadic? The Middle East is where civilization and sedentarism started. Why do westerners employ this word willy nilly whenever they speak of Muslims?
@@nas8318 those nomadic Turkic people were not fully müslims back then. They used to be tengriists. Gradually they were converted to islam because, you know, semitic religions are contagious like a virus.
that's in the poor man crusade, it was before the first where the crusaders were peasants with sticks. 95% of them were slaughtered by the Saljuks. the first crusade || Formal || was a success because of the weak shape of the Muslim world at that time, it was a success cuz they didn't have much resistance. In the second crusade, 50% of the armies were destroyed by the slakjuks even before the crusaders reache Syria.
@@samboy90 you know the crusades were shit when the 4th one sacked a holy christian city lmao
I think internal decisions in Europe. Eventually Kings realized they needed their best men to fight wars back at home and so they started pushing back on the crusaders. That's not to say they universally failed. They were able to reconquer what is modern day Spain and Portugal from the Moores and the Tectonic order had some success in Eastern European.
Erm think Spain and Portugal retaken had nothing to do with Crusaders.
Truth is they failed miserably. The resultant push back = Ottomans ruling up to Venice Austria. Almohads ruling up to the border of France. If you then think, well we colonised more land since then. Then you definitely haven't considered the push back which will happen at some point. Best thing is to just live in peace. Treat everyone fairly and equally.

I think that many people in your city still carrying some crusade gens in there blood. Such as white skin and blue eyes.
If one examines the facts without any bias, one will find that Salah Uddin was a just, courageous and fair man. While King Richard executed some 3,000 unarmed prisoners, Salah Uddin allowed his captives to be freed. He allowed Richard to return home when in reality he was in a position to annihilate whatever was left of Richard’s army. Furthermore, he allowed unarmed Christians to enter Jerusalem as a gesture of good will.

I have great respect for Saladin, but he could be just as ruthless as Richard at times. After the Battle of Hattin he executed almost all Templar, Hospitaller, and Turcopole prisoners while selling the Crusader foot soldiers into slavery. In addition, the Massacre at Ayyadieh, where Richard executed 3000 captives from Acre, was prompted in part because Richard believed that Saladin was stalling for time. In addition, Saladin executed all Christian prisoners in his hands after he saw Richard's actions at Ayyadieh. Don't get me wrong, Saladin is one of my favorite historical figures and one of the greatest leaders of the 12th century, but he did have his moments.

Perhaps the reason is also that Muslims are very strong because they have a real and just cause and they respect their religion and beliefs Unlike the Crusades, which were covered by the cross and the Christian religion, but had expansionist and purely economic goals.
it was simply the christians getting back at the muslims, who had done the same things the christians did to muslims during the crusades to christians before the crusades. do remember the levant was christian before the muslims forcefully took it and forced conversion. not condoning the crusades, but remember to look at things from the other perspective.

“ Awake, Saladin. We have returned, my presence here consecrates the victory of the cross over the crescent”- Henri Gouraud.
Saladin: *HOW MANY TIME DO I NEED TO TEACH YOU CROSS FETISHIST?*
1.Saladin did not sacked Jerusalem or Acre like you tried to give the impression at 4:00 . 2.First crusade was very well equipped as was the 7th crusade.
He also incorrectly portrayed that the 4th Crusade sack was due to poor negotiation on the Romans side. This is ridiculous, the Romans hated the crusaders pillaging their lands and invading their capital demanding a ridiculous deal from someone they exiled was always a plan for the Latins to exploit.
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the Latin massacre was far more justified than the 4th Crusade but our Catholic textbooks sell it as they woke up one day unprovoked. The reality is Crusaders would r*pe and help themselves to any Greek countryside and would drunkenly bully merchants and trash the place just do the Latins could break their promises and blame the Byzantines for every failure in the crusades. Meanwhile Italian merchants are gouging they populous and putting all the locals mercilessly out of business and into poverty due lopsided trade deals which culminated in Latin leadership in Constantinople beating down the Greeks even more. There was a revolt when this reached boiling point and the Romans were sick of these foreigners ruining their lives and country while draining their economy by hosting the crusades under the lie of doing “God’s work”. Bohemond betrayed the Crusade for his own ambitions in the First and Fourth Crusade shows God was never in the front of the leader’s minds
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the Romans had their Italian holdings forced to convert and many forced to flee from Latin/Papal intervention and that’s fine? Constantinople does the same thing and people.... lose their minds.... The Latin Massacre was an atrocity but it was the eviction from the Capital more than annihilation of an Empire.
1. Saladin actually planned to Sack Jerusalem, as that was a standard Practice at the time but his Brother talked him out of it so he basically asked for "Ransom" of the City's Latin Population. (Saladin was really average for the time was not as kind as he is portrayed.)
@@forickgrimaldus8301 Sadly, everyone, including many christian historians and Saladin's greatest enemy Richard I disagree with you. His brother talked him out of it? Can't believe the Bullshit you people can come up with. Sacking third Holiest city in Islam would tarnish his reputation. Whatever the reason, he didn't sack Jarusalem and that's way better than crusaders who sacked the city that was supposed to be the most holiest place for them.
It was a doomed effort from the start, attacking a kingdom very far away from your power base making reinforcement/supply lines very hard and fighting against a massive enemy that always outnumbered you and could easily suppy themselves/reinforce themselves, the french idea was the only possible path to victory, where you try and take egypt first then go from egypt to holy land.

The Baron's Crusade came very close but it lacked visible leadership.
Also the first one faced a extremely divided Muslim world. Some Muslim emirs gave presents to the crusaders for crushing their rivals.
@Çağlar Özgür Doesn’t matter anyways Christianity won
in addition the first crusade was a surprise attack actually, this is why it was a success, catching the Muslim states at a glimpse of weakness, later they unified.
@@TyranyFighterPatriot yeah
The ironic part ist that the raiding of Constantinople weakened the Byzantine Empire so much that it wasn't able to hold Anatolia anymore which led to the downfall of its empire and the rising of the Ottoman Empire a few hundred years later. The Ottomans later invaded Eastern Europe, reached Vienna and threatened all of Christendom before they were struck back by the united efforts of the remaining Christian countries.
The Polish king especially defeated the Ottomans.
It looks like western Europe will need saving again. History really does repeat itself.
Vlad Tepes: Am I a joke to you?!

No no no...
When the First Crusaders entered Anatolia, only the Anatolian part of the Great Seljuks faced them. They did not receive any help from the Great Seljuk Empire and the Danishmends Turks. They were also defeated with forces that were very few in number compared to the Crusaders. However, as a result of their knowledge of the crusaders and their war systems, with military aids taken from both the Great Seljuks and the Danishmends they succeeded in defeating the crusader armies in the crusade of 1101 and the 2nd crusade . If Barbarossa could had left Anatolia during the 3rd Crusade with his original army, he would have given great support to the crusaders. but he couldn't. In fact, despite his large army, the Seljuks had worn out his army before he drowned in the river. Anyway, after this failure expedition, no Crusader army face to go through Anatolia to Middle East. The biggest blow to the existence of the Crusaders was retaking of Jerusalem by the Kharawasmian Turks in 1244. The battle of Hattin and the battle of La Forbie coused the defeat of the Crusader army the extent of destruction. After Crusaders left from The Middle East, the expeditions we call the crusades, that is the Vatican itself led, were made in Europe. The last crusade in this sense was the Battle of Varna in 1444. First, the Christian armies came, took the some parts of Middle East and stayed for about 200 years. After that, Muslim Turks, on the other hand, took places in Europe as far as Germany and stayed in the region up to Vienna for 500 years. Now, everybody, where they're starting to act first, continues to live in that places. We are just trying to understand the structure, meaning, causes and consequences of ancient wars and campaigns. As humanity, we must find ways to prevent ancient wars from recurring in the modern world we live in and causing millions of innocent people to die.
I read that Richard: well, probably could have taken the city, but like you said, he wouldn’t have likely been able to hold onto it much longer after word, but also in the fact of what was going on back in England, and I think it was, his son was threatening to overthrow him. He ended up also getting sick while on campaign against Saladin and all of those factors led to the reason why Richard didn’t end up, marching on the city to take Jerusalem
I don’t think it was his son?
@@-Ahmed8592 no sorry I meant to put his brother future king John
Actually Richard was not as good of a leader as Saladin. He completely destroyed the morale of his own army and soldiers. Let his army get insight and close to Jerusalem twice and than changing plans and marching back. There were people who had waited years for Jerusalem and Richard's plans hurt them. And the army was not in state of holding off a counterattack from Saladin,who himself was weakened as half of his allies had left since Jerusalem was reconquered.Richard won some battles but lost the war,as was inevitable
Politics and intrigue. The Crusaders hated each other almost as much as they hated their Saracen enemies. After the First Crusade, it was no longer about liberating the Holy Land, it was about establishing your own states and becoming kings. There's also other things as well, like bad decisions [Hattin] and bad luck or divine intervention [whichever you prefer] with the sudden death of Emperor Frederick.
the kingdom established by the crusades was keep for a century, after that the times were different,
How did Frederick the death of a cruciferous war and what was his role in it and why Germany named the Sagbati Union of Soufati on his name
I still.feel.that it was very tough for the crusaders to pull this against the mighty Muslims in those days...Muslims were prior victorious in those days only Mongols were able to put them away but again Muslims were very quick on their feet to regain what they lost it was their nature of somewhat never giving up
it was words battles back then modern battle with guns thanks and jets we sufferd a lot of casualties from israel
Not israel we suffered because of disunity and will continue until we unite.
Didn’t the Mongols become muslims at the end? like 3/4 of their empire became muslims
Muslims were past the prime by the time of crusades (I mean prior to the rise of the ottomans or the Timurids), the Abbassids and Cordoba were nowhere near the peak of the their power; even the seljuk turks may not have been as powerful as they were under alp Arslan
*The ETERNAL GOD would do anything for you!! Even out of love for you he went to the cross as a human!!* Philippians 2:5-8
How Bill Wurts explained the crusades, was actually very accurate
What is the song that plays during the 7th Crusade?? I love it
Part of the failure of the crusades in the Holy Land was due to the sheer geographic distance that the Christians had to operate from, especially considering the logistical problems faced by medieval armies. Most of the crusaders hailed from faraway places like France, England, and the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Land is much closer to the Muslim power bases of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Arabia, which made things much easier for the Islamic armies.
Well, on the other hand, trying to convince the Armenians who had just fled the highlands after getting sacked, first by the Romans, and then by the Turks, to do their dirty work instead would have been a bigger recipe for disaster
Crusaders come from whole Europe even from Byzantium crusades even starts just to reestablished the old mighty Byzantine Empire on its knee which was scattered after arab victories after victories and the conquest of 2/3 of Rome. Thus Byzantine Empire aided crusaders everytime while crusaders state received constant knights,soilders,levy and goods from Italian states like Papal states and venice.
Muslims simply had stronger, better equiped armies than the backwards Europeans.
lach of unity
Also, because the Islamic Army defeated most of their rivals (ie. the Fatamids), and could move their troops to defend Jerusalem. They also had many Jewish mercenaries due to their tolerance of the Jews.
Another thing that contributed to the failure was the international struggles in Europe. These kingdoms weren't exactly united and had dynastic rivalries and disputes over successions. Things like crop failures, plagues were larger concerns for European kingdoms. Their home problems became larger problems than places further away from them.
Lots of internal struggles between Nilfgaard, Redania, Kaedwin and Temeria.
you think that only occur on europe? you think the region the try to conquer not having such problem?
@@anplusdre No one said that
Expecially because they were seen as invaders also by the Copts (egyptians Christians) that were well deal,as the jews, by Saladin, the catholics weren't so tolerant, being conquered by these crusaders wasn't as being conquered by,f.e., Alexander
@@anplusdre His point is that the Europeans had problems at home with which they had to deal with, taking their attention away from the Middle East and to Europe. He didn't say that Middle Easterners couldn't have similar problems.. If you're already living in the Middle East, you can deal with the problem while staying where you live. But for Europeans, these problems meant they had to look away from the Middle East and focus on their home soil.
3rd Crusade was actually pretty big deal. This video does not do it justice and glossed over numerous things like the Holy Roman Empire and its Emperor drowning while crossing a river. The betrayal of France of England. And the fact that the crusaders were outnumbered nearly 10 to 1 in nearly every engagement, yet kept winning. Saladin got spanked hard by the 3rd crusade, and it was only due to European politics that he didn't lose everything. Richard was forced to sail back home to protect his holdings that were being attacked. 4th crusade was not random or startling. This is known. The brother to the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire had seized the throne. The crusaders, who were short on funds to crusade, were offered large sums of money to install the Emperor to his throne. They followed through with it, but the new Emperor had lied about they money he could pay them. So the Crusaders turned on him and conquered Constanipole, but it resulted in a massive fire that devastated the city and it never recovered. They divided up the Empire among themselves and rules it for years before it was retaken. This video also failed to cover the fact that there had been a Latin massacre in the city some years priors that had gotten most of Europe to condemn them. It was effectively a genocide as a mob set upon and mass killed the Latin population in the city. So the Western European crusaders were still pissed about that.
Most of the people here don't realize the geopolitical situation involving the crusades was not nearly as simple as Crusaders x Muslims. In many cases nobles and leaders in both parties were allies according to personal interests. Christian crusaders were NEVER unified as people would think today. For a more realistic and non-romantic view of the crusades i suggest you to check Kings and Generals series on the topic.

It was a bad response to 300 years of Muslim conquest in Europe and beyond.

Philip II didn’t die in the Third Crusade, although he did return to France after the siege of Tyre. In fact, he both outlived Richard I and paved the way for France as we know it today by crushing both England and the Holy Roman Empire in 1214 during the Anglo-French War. He was given the title Augustus for his exceptional rule.

Nine hundred and twelve years have passed since the Europeans of northern and western Europe mounted the first crusade against the Muslims who were Arabs , Turks , Kurds and Afghan/Pathan. One siege will provide readers with the flavour of what happened in the 11th century AD. By November 1098 thousand of brutal frankish warriors ( called Franj by their victims ) accompanied by a motley of old men , women and children with the Star of Bethlehem shining in their eyes surrounded the city of Ma'arra on the banks of the Orentes river . The defenders were not an armed and trained Garrison.............. 11th December saw the situation become desperate as the Franj scaled the walls and the citizens took shelter in the tallest buildings . The town notable made contact with Behemond , the commander of the assailants . He promised to spare the lives of the citizens of ma'arra if they surrendered and laid down their arms . The desperate defenders agreed and waited all night in fear and trumbling. At dawn the Franj arrived and the carnage began . The Arab chroniclers wrote " For 3 days they put the people to the sword killing tens of thousands and taking many more prisoners " The Frank chronicler's account is spine chilling. Rudulph of Caen writes : " In Ma'arra our troops boiled pagan adults in cooking pots , they impaled children on spits and devoured them grilled "............ On 13th January 1099 , hundreds of Franj bearing torches roamed the alley ways of Ma'arra setting every house alight . The city walls had already been dismantled stone by stone. Evidence : " Crusade still lives on " Deccan Chronicle ( Indian newspaper ) December - 2-2007 . Sunday suppliment page - 2 Author : Akhilesh mithal This is crusade.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
That does not apply here though. That's because that is not the definition of insanity, that is just what Albert Einstein was believed to have said at one point. Definition of insanity: "mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior." We can all just throw random quotes around: “I have tried 99 times and have failed, but on the 100th time came success.” - Albert Einstein "If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again." - Robert The Bruce “I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” - Thomas Edison
One time they even thought, "Maybe if we tried this with only children..."

@@backpackpepelon3867 The time period of this was over 700 years ago. Whoever they were, they're dead now.
There are always deep reasons within European society. To become a crusader, for example, became a social status which implied many advantages in law matters (like in debt administration). This, combined with the fact that every time an eresy or some enemies of the family of the pope arise he called for an internal crusade, started to heavily discredit Crusades in everyone's etes

@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the crusaders were Catholic Latins, not Orthodox Greeks, and Latindom had never been in the Middle East before the crusades.

I feel like the most important aspects is not even mentioned. Holy lands were a logistical nightmare to invade from Europe. The distance was huge and sea travel was difficult. After capturing the Holy land itself in the 1st Crusade, holding it was nigh impossible, as the area lacks strategic depth and could not be quickly reinforced from Europe. I wager, that had the 1st crusade focused on capturing Egypt and from there on capturing the Holy land, it might have been a more successful long term endeavor. Egypt would have been much more easily defensible as the crusaders controlled the sea. Egypt had the native population, food surplus and even Christian population to maintain a native army to resist Muslim re-conquest attempts. Egyptian rulers have often projected power to the Holy land, from ancient pharaohs to califs to Mamluks.
Lol, even the Christians of Egypt fought against the Crusader occupation
Crusaders killed the native christian population in Syria. The christians in middle east didn't like them
Lol what makes you think mideastern christain will support Latin cathlic crusaders? They butcherd christain on thier way to Jereruselm for being "herteics" if the crusaders captured egypt they would sack it like they did constantinople.

Saladin was at the end there, but the first crusaders failed to capture and keep the region because after they started killing almost everyone after a siege nobody surrendered, so they had to destroy the walls and stuff to take towns and castles, and this left them open to counter attacks. They should have focused on the coast and requested people to come an settle in the region so they would have kids growing up to join their armies. There's also the point that the Roman Empire (East) gave provisions and passage and other logistic help on the condition that Antioch and other lands be returned to the Eastern Roman Empire, the Crusaders betrayed those promises and didn't get much help in the future. Ultimately the Crusades did not fail, though it was not called that by England and France in the 1800s, that was the goal, and they did capture the entire area after taking out the Ottoman Empire. You should have no doubt that they were completing the Crusades, their captured territories were too damned specific to think otherwise.
The Crusades are one more example that conquering territory and holding on to that territory are very different tasks.
Their problem is logistic. You cant win the war without logistics.

Great video brother
The 1st crusade was not made by peasants as the video says. The People’s crusade (which came right before) was the one made by peasants and common folks. The 1st crusade was made mainly by knights, nobility, and men at arms.
Effectively the first wave was lead by Peter the ermit, a bunch of fanatical peasants that sacked and destroied a lot of countries, ending massacred somewhere (Anatolia? I don't remember)

It also failed because of the sheer distance between Jerusalem and Europe. The amount of coordination in logistics, armies and many other components. Also, the Crudaders were fighting in unfamiliar lands.
it failed because they couldn’t hold it
What's the background music toward the end?
Most recent crusade was successful: World War I in 1914-1918. This War had ended with the recapture of Jerusalem by the Allied Forces (British and French) upon their victory over the Ottoman.

But that wasn't a Crusade as the Ottomans were fight along with the German and Austro-Hungarian Empires which were Christian and the British and French were able to defeat the Ottomans with the help of Arabs who were Muslims. So it was basically Christians fighting against each other and likewise Muslims fighting against each other.
Once again another great video
God does not want to make war on another country. This is Satanic crusaders. Not Holy war.
Before watching, I think the reason is the heavy armor, how someone wear so much clothes and metal in the middle east and expect to live not even win a war, the heat will burn them alive 😅. Second thing is the fact that they have to fight al the way many nations until finally reach Jerusalem. The third thing Muslim were highly advanced in medieval ear, science and knowledge in many aspect compared to the European at the time. Also there is many things considering tax and army and other.
You clearly do not understand the time well after the first crusade the christian had the same technological level as the muslims
As for going to the holy land they didnt
They could make a deal with the byzantines or just sail and the byzantines are the only one blocking other than the turks
Now finally clothes and metal was a semi problem as they also gave crusaders an advantage
@FutureIsDarkFeaturoid strongest how? Europeans didn't send massive armies to fight Crusades, mostly of them were peasants, artisans, nobleman's and their men...

i'm glad you at least mentioned the crusades of northern and eastern europe. The ONLY reason norse paganism is mainly associated with scandinavia is because it was the very last area of europe to be christianized.

And i'm not refering to the berzerkers. medieval christians proved to be far more willy to shed blood in the name of conversion, than any norse pagans were to defend it/keep it

They didn't secure a large nation in the middle east as a power base to which they could attach Jerusalem. They shoved themselves in the middle of multiple power bases, and didn't have much land or resources of their own. The smart play would've been to conquer Egypt and create a new kingdom to which you could easily strike out and take Jerusalem, or conquer turkey them move to the levant and add all of the land back to the Byzantine empire. Those 2 options give you large power bases that would enable you to muster resources enough close enough to indefinitely protect the holy land.
