Why are the events of the Crusades relevant today?

The Crusades are still important for many reasons. All of the nine crusades are still relevant today because we still have this problem today.

There will never be an actual winner because the fight will just go on and on because both sides believed that they needed to win. Even though this is still going on all throughout the world, we can still learn very important things. They are also relevant because if we didn’t teach about them then Christians and Muslims would miss out on a very big piece in their history.
