    In 1095, Byzantine Emperor Alexius I contacted Pope Urban II about the growing threat of Turkish Armies taking over Constantinople and Jerusalem. Alexius was in dire need of help, so he turned to Pope Urban II. Alexius turned to get help from Western Europe because although they were conflicting regions, they were all Christians, and therefore had the same, or very similar religious beliefs. Pope Urban II agreed to the idea and began creating what is now known as the Crusades. Although some may argue that the Crusades were an effect of financial benefit, they were primarily the result of Pope Urban II’s calling, the promise made of immediate remission of sins, and the belief that anything gained was the will of God.…

    The crusades were military campaigns first inaugurated and sanctioned by Pope Urban 2 at Clermont-Ferrand in November 1095 to wrestle the Holy Land from Muslim control. The desire for access to shrines associated with life and ministry of Jesus was a driving force for crusaders. In addition, the promise to gain to gain land and wealth in the East acted as motivation to the crusaders who also had absolution from sin and eternal glory promised to them. The church was more centralized and stronger from a reform movement to end the practice whereby kings installed important clergy, such as bishops, in office.…

    When messengers from the Byzantine Emperor Alexius Comnenus asked the Christians in Europe to help protect his empire from the Turks, an assembly of churchmen called by Pope Urban II met at Clermont, France on 27th November 1095. The pope addressed the assembly and asked the warriors of Europe to liberate the Holy Land from the Muslims. The response of the assembly was overwhelmingly positive and the first of at least eight crusades was launched. For clarification, I am defining the word ‘Crusade’ as a holy war authorized by the Pope in the name of God which campaigned for political, social, or religious change. The extraordinary success of the First Crusade would eventually make it almost impossible for future Crusades to achieve the same…

    Imperialism was a time in the 19th and early 20th centuries when European countries sought to expand their power through military forces. This period of time began in Great Britain in around 1870, when the prime minister, Benjamin Disraeli urged Queen Victoria to imperialize Britain. During the Industrial Revolution, countries such as Britain that were being impacted greatly by the Industrial Revolution began to search for more resources for more economic advancements. Imperialism resulted in economic expansion, however, it stripped countries of their religious backgrounds and dehumanised the natives. Missionaries travelled along with explorers, with the intention to convert continents such as Africa with many Muslims, to Christianity.…

    Between 1095 and 1291 the Crusades to the Eastern Mediterranean took place, promoted by the papacy. Rome had been asked by Christian emperor in Constantinople, Alexius Commenus, to assist him in fighting back the Seljuk Turk’s expansion and occupation and recover the lost territories. Pope Urban II added the argument of redeeming the Holy Land from infidel Muslim expansion and occupation and harassing Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem. Over the course of the Crusades, the many differences existing between Western and Eastern Christians became irreversible. Historian and notable expert on the crusades Christopher Tyerman states in his most recent research that the crusades were wars justified by faith conducted against real or imagined enemies defined by religious and political elites as perceived threats to the Christian faithful.…

    The First Crusade was a conflict between the Christians of Western Europe and the Muslims of Jerusalem. The Crusade was initiated in 1095 by Pope Urban II in response to the Byzantine emperor's call for help defending against the invading Seljuk Turks.

From the First Crusade, Europe made great economical gains. Europe benefited from the First Crusade more economically than religiously, which was not the goal of Pope Urban II.…

    The two sources I have chosen are Fulcher of Chartres’ account of Pope Urban II’s speech at the Council of Clermont in 1095, calling the Christians to crusade, and an extract from Arab politician and chronicler Ibn-al-Qalanisi’s account of the First Crusade, describing the behaviour of the Franks as they seize a town from the Muslims. Fulcher of Chartres was trained as a priest and was appointed as chaplain to Baldwin of Boulogne in 1097 after leaving for crusade in 1096 with the entourage of Stephen of Blois. He would have been a very religious man even for the period and so the account would have been written with an emphasis on the most important religious content in Urban’s speech. In origin, it is a part of his Gesta Francorum Jerusalem…
