The Crusades were a series of several wars fighting for what the Holy Catholic Church believed to be their religious freedoms. Up to that time, people took pilgrimages to Jerusalem as part of their acts of faith but never in the Bible are Christians called to act for faith. When their route was cut off by the Turks and the people who attempted to cross killed, they began to fight back. They fought to gain back their religious freedoms but in turn killed more people. So to try to get back for the death of their fellow people, they took more lives. The Crusade to gain back their sacred land caused more problems all based on a feeling that one must take actions to be a better Christian.
