throughout the cities in the Middle East ending with the capture of Jerusalem, devastating the current population of Jerusalem with “blood flowing freely in the streets. Jews fled to a synagogue and Muslims to a mosque. Crusaders burned the synagogue, killing about 6,000 Jews, and stormed the mosque, butchering an estimated 30,000 Muslims” (Wright, 2016) The first crusade had large economic effects throughout the world with the growth of trade and the church.
