FIRST

Before the First Crusade took place, tensions between Muslims and Christians already existed. Muslims and Christians were both taking pilgrimages to the Holy Land, but each group truly thought the Holy Land belonged to them alone. Seljuk Turks wanted to overtake Islamic regions and regions that did not follow Islam, but they focused more on taking power from other Muslims and not from the “West,” or Christendom. The Turks did attack Byzantium, which was already weak, so the empire had to rely on European troops for military support. When the emperor sent this plea to Pope Urban II, he reworded it to make it seem like a war to take back a Christian region, which created a misinterpreted call to war. Despite past tensions, Pope Urban II’s misconstrued…

The Crusades From 1095 to 1291, Christians from the western part of Europe embarked on eight separate attacks against the Muslims in the Middle East. These attacks became known as Crusades and the main goal of the battles were to take the Holy Land and Jerusalem from Muslim rule and give it to the Christians in Europe. While many Crusades were launched against the Muslims, few were actually successful. The First Crusade started because the Muslim group known as the Seljuk Turks took over…

Many believe the crusaders of the First Crusade set out to claim land, gold, or wealth, and for some this is true. However, for others this is not the case. Bohemond of Taranto set out on crusade for pious and not opportunistic reason. He led his men throughout the battles they encountered and they made him their leader for his leadership abilities; he actually led the whole crusading mission. He set the example by willingly devoting his allegiance to Alexius I Comenus, who he had a strained and…

unsuccessful in achieving this goal and only one notable, historical crusade has done this and has succeeded, but at a price. There hasn’t been a movement more momentous than the First Crusade. The First Crusade was a pilgrimage turned military expedition to Jerusalem that was sponsored by Pope Urban II at the Council of Clement in November 1095 in the aspiration to set out from the west to the recover the holy city from the hands of the Muslims.

historically, First Nations youth in British Columbia and across Canada have suffered from significantly higher rates of suicide in comparison to non-First Nations youth (Kirmayer, Brass, & Holton, 2007). Epidemiological data has shown that increased rates of suicide among First Nations youth aged 10-19 years are particularly evident in certain rural British Columbia First Nations communities (BC Ministry of Health, 2007). A startling example of the this trend occurred in May 2012, when…

The Byzantine emperor considered the Christians family and considered the thought of killing them in battle “fratricide” . During the First…

Many of William Shakespeare’s greatest works easily could have been lost forever in the beginning of the sixteenth century. It is only due to the First Folio, a collection of Shakespeare’s plays that has allowed for Shakespeare’s stories to live centuries after his death. Generations of people have been able to study his works and memorize his lines because of this one very important historical document. The First Folio easily could be argued the most influential book related to English…
