@Jason Stark A typical BS response of Islamists just trying to coverup what Islam is,so stop justifying it here Nd reform that stupid religion or ideology.
Ironically they could have succeeded with the original plan because Alexandria was a welcoming city to the Christians and the Sultan of Egypt was a moron
@الظلام علي actually he wasn't so dumb true, but wasn't a war focused leader. He actually Al Adil I actually tried to make good reoations and trade with the crusader states to prevent another crusade. The point is that the crusaders would have Alexandria, wgich had a very large population of christians at the time, as an easy access point and they managed to sack Constantinople, which was the most defensible city in the world. Before that, Constantinople was considered almost impossible to capture since it's surrounded by sea on three sides and thick walls on one.
I dont think it was right to have called Saladin infamous, because, if you read about his life, he was probably one of the most generous person and kind-hearted and well respected ruler of that time.
He was not kind, he wouldn't and failed to pay the ransom for many Muslims in an agreement with Richard the lionhearted, many of his nobles and militia hated him for it and he found it increasingly harder to get men to defend forts and cities. go research more. He was a respected man in his own right...but be under no illusion, he was a tyrant in many ways
Short answer. Going on Crusade was too costly and time consuming, and it was very risky for European monarchs to travel hundreds of miles or more to fight strangers in far away lands when their immediate neighbors or rebellious nobles might take advantage of their absence.

I don’t necessarily think it’s that easy to say whether major campaigns like that are “lost” or “won” considering we have no ability to do an A/B test of the alternative. I personally think you would have seen a lot more Islamic conquest, that made it further into central and Western Europe during the Middle Ages if there were no crusade and no pushback against islamism. It’s kind of like when people try to say domino theory was disproven by Vietnam. Was it? I don’t think so....who knows where things would have gone without US intervention against soviet expansion in the third world. Similarly without the crusades Islam wouldn’t have stopped and been largely contained among Arabs in the Mid East. The ottomans made it to Vienna but that’s about as far as they got because of resistance. You can’t just declare something like the crusades a useless and unnecessary war. Tell me that the Muslim siege and conquest of Jerusalem was something to let slide when it happens to NYC, London or some major city that you care about and that effects your life and livelihoods. I think if people had more of the facts they’d understand that doing nothing about the siege of Jerusalem would be like the US doing nothing about 9/11 or Israel just taking Hamas rockets without retaliating. Sounds nice, but only if you’re a weak pussy that doesn’t deserve to have a nation let alone lead it!
Also when you don’t arbitrarily cut off the timeline of the fight for the holy land somewhere in the ottoman controlled 15th century or something then the west is currently winning the war for control of the holy land. Israel and Zionism were always as much about having a friend of the western powers in that region as it was about giving the Jewish people their ancestral homeland back. As a US citizen and non-Jewish Zionist that just saw islamists getting their asses kicked by US/Israeli weaponry...were definitely winning!
There is a difference between "Don't Commit murder" and "Don't fight Wars" by this logic all Soldiers are Murders, this was the logic that the Crusaders went with, does not make them good guys especially with all the Sacking but still.
@@Userafghany but it did say that should Islam be threatened by existential threat that they should use Violence as a last resort, this is the same with the Crusades But basically almost everytime it was fuel by Political and Strategic decision Instead of Moral or Even Religious ones at least for the Men of the cloth that called them (even though they partially believed it to be), the Boots on the ground though are completely sold on the idea usually.
I studied Humanities in a Jerusalemite school, and we played a game once imitating the events of the 3rd crusade. I played Seif Adin, Salah Adin (mentioned in the video as Saadin)'s brother. It was fairly easy to demoralize and split apart the various crusaders. I can imagine the European infighting having doomed these campaigns more often than not.
I am from Mansoura, in my city. The Crusaders were defeated in the Seventh Crusade, and the house in which Louis IX lived during his captivity is still present today.
My mom is also from El Mansoura ( Ghannam family) and that city has defiinitly seen a lot of wars over the centuries thats why most of the population there is blonde/green or blue eyes !

It was unattainable target from the start, you just can't hold a city in the heart of an enemy land. Without the sea all these cities were easy to isolate and take one by one.
their target was wrong as well. Had they focused on liberating Anatolia from the turkish, the romans could focus their strenghth in the south against the Ayyubids, for I believe they could even make deals with arabs, who wished to have some peace as much as the romans.
1.Saladin did not sacked Jerusalem or Acre like you tried to give the impression at 4:00 . 2.First crusade was very well equipped as was the 7th crusade.
He also incorrectly portrayed that the 4th Crusade sack was due to poor negotiation on the Romans side. This is ridiculous, the Romans hated the crusaders pillaging their lands and invading their capital demanding a ridiculous deal from someone they exiled was always a plan for the Latins to exploit.
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the Latin massacre was far more justified than the 4th Crusade but our Catholic textbooks sell it as they woke up one day unprovoked. The reality is Crusaders would r*pe and help themselves to any Greek countryside and would drunkenly bully merchants and trash the place just do the Latins could break their promises and blame the Byzantines for every failure in the crusades. Meanwhile Italian merchants are gouging they populous and putting all the locals mercilessly out of business and into poverty due lopsided trade deals which culminated in Latin leadership in Constantinople beating down the Greeks even more. There was a revolt when this reached boiling point and the Romans were sick of these foreigners ruining their lives and country while draining their economy by hosting the crusades under the lie of doing “God’s work”. Bohemond betrayed the Crusade for his own ambitions in the First and Fourth Crusade shows God was never in the front of the leader’s minds
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the Romans had their Italian holdings forced to convert and many forced to flee from Latin/Papal intervention and that’s fine? Constantinople does the same thing and people.... lose their minds.... The Latin Massacre was an atrocity but it was the eviction from the Capital more than annihilation of an Empire.
1. Saladin actually planned to Sack Jerusalem, as that was a standard Practice at the time but his Brother talked him out of it so he basically asked for "Ransom" of the City's Latin Population. (Saladin was really average for the time was not as kind as he is portrayed.)
@@forickgrimaldus8301 Sadly, everyone, including many christian historians and Saladin's greatest enemy Richard I disagree with you. His brother talked him out of it? Can't believe the Bullshit you people can come up with. Sacking third Holiest city in Islam would tarnish his reputation. Whatever the reason, he didn't sack Jarusalem and that's way better than crusaders who sacked the city that was supposed to be the most holiest place for them.

If one examines the facts without any bias, one will find that Salah Uddin was a just, courageous and fair man. While King Richard executed some 3,000 unarmed prisoners, Salah Uddin allowed his captives to be freed. He allowed Richard to return home when in reality he was in a position to annihilate whatever was left of Richard’s army. Furthermore, he allowed unarmed Christians to enter Jerusalem as a gesture of good will.

I have great respect for Saladin, but he could be just as ruthless as Richard at times. After the Battle of Hattin he executed almost all Templar, Hospitaller, and Turcopole prisoners while selling the Crusader foot soldiers into slavery. In addition, the Massacre at Ayyadieh, where Richard executed 3000 captives from Acre, was prompted in part because Richard believed that Saladin was stalling for time. In addition, Saladin executed all Christian prisoners in his hands after he saw Richard's actions at Ayyadieh. Don't get me wrong, Saladin is one of my favorite historical figures and one of the greatest leaders of the 12th century, but he did have his moments.

Yeah this isn’t really true… Saladin raped and pillaged Europeans and his own people. After the kingdom of Jerusalem was founded the Muslims found that the judgement of the Franks in their royal courts was more fair than their own sheiks
@@jonas5490 It made the crusaders look like a hero and Saladan as a decent opponent. There was still certain propaganda language used to demonize Muslims.
in addition the first crusade was a surprise attack actually, this is why it was a success, catching the Muslim states at a glimpse of weakness, later they unified.
The ironic part ist that the raiding of Constantinople weakened the Byzantine Empire so much that it wasn't able to hold Anatolia anymore which led to the downfall of its empire and the rising of the Ottoman Empire a few hundred years later. The Ottomans later invaded Eastern Europe, reached Vienna and threatened all of Christendom before they were struck back by the united efforts of the remaining Christian countries.
What propaganda is this? The ottomans took over the balkans not eastern europe. Not to mention that Bulgarians,Serbians,Greeks,Croats,Bosnians and Albanians were all fighting against ottomans in the balkans since day 1. It was never going to last anyway.
I think internal decisions in Europe. Eventually Kings realized they needed their best men to fight wars back at home and so they started pushing back on the crusaders. That's not to say they universally failed. They were able to reconquer what is modern day Spain and Portugal from the Moores and the Tectonic order had some success in Eastern European.
Truth is they failed miserably. The resultant push back = Ottomans ruling up to Venice Austria. Almohads ruling up to the border of France. If you then think, well we colonised more land since then. Then you definitely haven't considered the push back which will happen at some point. Best thing is to just live in peace. Treat everyone fairly and equally.
@@king_panda1387 it did. The visigods in the north of spain were only able to take back the iberian peninsula because crusades formed of many european countries helped them reconquer the territory. How else do you think three northern visigod kingdoms could take back a whole peninsula from enemies much superior to them?
Philip II didn’t die in the Third Crusade, although he did return to France after the siege of Tyre. In fact, he both outlived Richard I and paved the way for France as we know it today by crushing both England and the Holy Roman Empire in 1214 during the Anglo-French War. He was given the title Augustus for his exceptional rule.
@@finalfrontier001 honestly it was a miracle that the Kingdom of Jerusalem survived until the 13th century. To me it was a hella last stand against the Muslims in their home region
@@bokonoo77 imagine controlling somewhere 116 years not being able to convert the local people. That was the main problem with crusades they too savage and brutal and offered nothing return.
Part of the failure of the crusades in the Holy Land was due to the sheer geographic distance that the Christians had to operate from, especially considering the logistical problems faced by medieval armies. Most of the crusaders hailed from faraway places like France, England, and the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Land is much closer to the Muslim power bases of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Arabia, which made things much easier for the Islamic armies.
Well, on the other hand, trying to convince the Armenians who had just fled the highlands after getting sacked, first by the Romans, and then by the Turks, to do their dirty work instead would have been a bigger recipe for disaster
Crusaders come from whole Europe even from Byzantium crusades even starts just to reestablished the old mighty Byzantine Empire on its knee which was scattered after arab victories after victories and the conquest of 2/3 of Rome. Thus Byzantine Empire aided crusaders everytime while crusaders state received constant knights,soilders,levy and goods from Italian states like Papal states and venice.
Also, because the Islamic Army defeated most of their rivals (ie. the Fatamids), and could move their troops to defend Jerusalem. They also had many Jewish mercenaries due to their tolerance of the Jews.
Another thing that contributed to the failure was the international struggles in Europe. These kingdoms weren't exactly united and had dynastic rivalries and disputes over successions. Things like crop failures, plagues were larger concerns for European kingdoms. Their home problems became larger problems than places further away from them.
Expecially because they were seen as invaders also by the Copts (egyptians Christians) that were well deal,as the jews, by Saladin, the catholics weren't so tolerant, being conquered by these crusaders wasn't as being conquered by,f.e., Alexander
@@anplusdre His point is that the Europeans had problems at home with which they had to deal with, taking their attention away from the Middle East and to Europe. He didn't say that Middle Easterners couldn't have similar problems.. If you're already living in the Middle East, you can deal with the problem while staying where you live. But for Europeans, these problems meant they had to look away from the Middle East and focus on their home soil.
Some of the most notable Muslim victories during the Crusades include: -Battle of Hattin (1187): This was a decisive victory for the Muslim forces led by Saladin against the Crusader army led by King Guy of Jerusalem. The Crusader army was largely destroyed, and many of its leaders were captured or killed, including King Guy. -Siege of Jerusalem (1187): Following the victory at the Battle of Hattin, Saladin was able to capture Jerusalem, which had been held by the Crusaders since 1099. The city was taken without bloodshed, and Saladin allowed the Christian inhabitants to leave unharmed. -Battle of Ain Jalut (1260): This was a major victory for the Muslim forces led by Qutuz and Baybars against the Mongol army led by Hulagu Khan. The Mongol advance into the Middle East was halted, and the Muslim forces were able to establish a more secure position in the region. These victories were significant in terms of the impact they had on the Crusades and the balance of power in the region. They also played a role in shaping the history of the Middle East and the relationship between the Muslim and Christian worlds.
The battle of Ain Julut was not led by Khulagu Khan, Khulegu left one of his generals(Khetbukha) with a vanguard of his army. It was a loss, but it was definitely not the majority of the mongol army and only a mere vanguard
I still.feel.that it was very tough for the crusaders to pull this against the mighty Muslims in those days...Muslims were prior victorious in those days only Mongols were able to put them away but again Muslims were very quick on their feet to regain what they lost it was their nature of somewhat never giving up
Muslims were past the prime by the time of crusades (I mean prior to the rise of the ottomans or the Timurids), the Abbassids and Cordoba were nowhere near the peak of the their power; even the seljuk turks may not have been as powerful as they were under alp Arslan
Politics and intrigue. The Crusaders hated each other almost as much as they hated their Saracen enemies. After the First Crusade, it was no longer about liberating the Holy Land, it was about establishing your own states and becoming kings. There's also other things as well, like bad decisions [Hattin] and bad luck or divine intervention [whichever you prefer] with the sudden death of Emperor Frederick.
@Silmarillion Tolkien they were. The white citizens of the new continents call themselves “natives” although they’ve been there only for few centuries. Why can’t the people I mentioned in my previous comment be natives too considering they lived there for a very long time.
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the crusaders were Catholic Latins, not Orthodox Greeks, and Latindom had never been in the Middle East before the crusades.
I had also read that some of the first crusades, whıch choose the land path through anatolia, were drastically weakened by the guerilla tactics driven by small groups of horseback archer turcomans. highly armored crusades are extremely slow, whereas horseback archers are indeed quite fast. european armies are typically infantary, whereas nomadic armies are always mounted. and yes, their high-tech bows and arrows can pierce armor.
Why do you say nomadic? The Middle East is where civilization and sedentarism started. Why do westerners employ this word willy nilly whenever they speak of Muslims?
@@nas8318 those nomadic Turkic people were not fully müslims back then. They used to be tengriists. Gradually they were converted to islam because, you know, semitic religions are contagious like a virus.

2:12 Wrong, Crusaders did not take Jerusalem from Seljuk Turks, but from the Fatimids, because in 1098 Fatimids attacked Jerusalem with catapults and after a 6-week siege, the Seljuk garrison withdrew from the city.
During the Second Crusade, some 3,000 French knights were starved in southwest Anatolia after the war. The Seljuk soldiers, whom they fought yesterday, were dying of hunger, and the food and drink aid was given to 3,000 French knights who were left in the enemy's territory. The French soldiers changed their religion and became Muslims after a while.

I read that Richard: well, probably could have taken the city, but like you said, he wouldn’t have likely been able to hold onto it much longer after word, but also in the fact of what was going on back in England, and I think it was, his son was threatening to overthrow him. He ended up also getting sick while on campaign against Saladin and all of those factors led to the reason why Richard didn’t end up, marching on the city to take Jerusalem
Actually Richard was not as good of a leader as Saladin. He completely destroyed the morale of his own army and soldiers. Let his army get insight and close to Jerusalem twice and than changing plans and marching back. There were people who had waited years for Jerusalem and Richard's plans hurt them. And the army was not in state of holding off a counterattack from Saladin,who himself was weakened as half of his allies had left since Jerusalem was reconquered.Richard won some battles but lost the war,as was inevitable
The Venetians had trasported the Crudaders to Constantinople and since the Crudaders were unable to pay the prize of the transport requested, the Venetians profited from the looting of the city by the angry Crusaders to participate
wrong, actually and ironically the son of the disposed emperor Issac Angelos, Alexios Angelos asked the Crusaders to divert to Constantinople to restore his father and he would pay for the transport, when they went there and did sack the city, Alexios got assassinated, you got it half right since the crusaders did capture the city of Zara for Venice to repay for transport

The 1st crusade was not made by peasants as the video says. The People’s crusade (which came right before) was the one made by peasants and common folks. The 1st crusade was made mainly by knights, nobility, and men at arms.
Effectively the first wave was lead by Peter the ermit, a bunch of fanatical peasants that sacked and destroied a lot of countries, ending massacred somewhere (Anatolia? I don't remember)
It also failed because of the sheer distance between Jerusalem and Europe. The amount of coordination in logistics, armies and many other components. Also, the Crudaders were fighting in unfamiliar lands.
As common knowledge has it, every subsequent sequel never manages to recapture the spirit of the original and usually ends up being just a cheap cash grab. As true for movies, as true for crusades.
They failed because of their love for this world and hate for death while their enemies were people who had no desire for this world and had a love for death and martyrdom

Of course the Muslim forces were indeed strong, they were United where as you can’t fully say the crusaders were. This is again hand in hand with the fact the crusaders had travel long distances from their homelands.

"Why did the crusade fail again?" Me every time when a crusade happens in Crusader Kings 3. I only donate some gold to the cause just not to get excommunicated. The AI is incredibly stupid, they split into multiple groups of only 1000 men and they get completely destroyed by death stacks of 20 000 enemy troops.
my brother from another mother, just send part of your troops and have lead the sieges on important places like Jerusalem, the score will count towards you and when the Crusade is won you get Jerusalem, don’t do it with the Pope’s troops because it will fail
Saladin was a genius in his time and definitely several centuries ahead of time in terms of the way he ruled and his understanding of how to deal with the fragile and multi-ethnic situation in the Levant. He was well respected by the nobility in Europe and apparently he and King Richard sent gifts back and forth.
It was just a stupid teenager king brainwashed by Jesuits to become a great soldier of Christendom. Instead of killing the moor as he wanred, he caused the decline of the Portuguese empire.

The crusades would have been a success if they had started retaking Asia minor making its way down to Syria and finally in jerusalem. That is what the Macedonians and kind of what the Romans did and they were successful. But starting with the levant makes supplying the newly conquered cities difficult.
That's true, but if they did that they would give way too much power to the Byzantines, which wouldn't be a smart move, considering that they absolutely hated the Byzantines and even destroyed their capital.
@@strangergelt5182 By just establishing an alliance of crusader states in Asia Minor maybe during the 1st or 2nd crusade would greatly aid and supply the subsequent campaigns. They didn't necessarily have to give those lands back to the Byzantines as demonstrated by blatantly ignoring their oaths to the Byzantine emperor that they shall AID on taking back their rightful lands and not take it for themselves.
The Byzantines did capture a big part of Territories after the first crusade (komnenian restoration ) l think that the Byzantine wouldn't allow the crusades to capture Asia minor ( pillaging sacking etc major cities ) because it was territory of the eastern Roman empire some years later
@@julesbrags1661 Crusader states didn’t have the power to maintain states in Anatolia. This is the Komnenos Byzantine Empire we’re talking about who at their height Vassalized the principality of Antioch and Allied with Jerusalem.

@@kasadam85 it is mate the narrative of the video is more Christian friendly, anyways not a point to argue on just that the guy dismised all the atrocities commited by crusaders
No they were not. The crusades brought back transcripts from the middle east that later sparked the renaissance. The crusades also brought wealth to Europe cuz it was its only trade route with the East and this led to West Europe being as wealthy as muslim world in 13th century.
The Crusades were a series of ambitious military campaigns, but many ultimately failed to achieve their goals due to logistical challenges, disunity, and strong resistance. This chapter in war history highlights how strategy and diplomacy often outweigh brute force on the battlefield.
The 4th crusade was the beginning of the end for Constantinople. It set back western civilization 300 years & allowed the Turks free rein in the former eastern Roman Empire.
Have you ever considered that maybe the Pope was not only behind that sacking in 1204, but the epic betrayal by Big Nick Ducas at Manzikert in 1071? The entire Christian East was toppled after just those 2 events!
Western civilization? Muslims translated Greek to Western Europe, so Greeks and Byzantines are not the West but East, Christianity is from the East! Nothing is from the West! Jesus, "your God" came from the East.
In the movie Kingdom of Heaven, Jeremy Irons character Tiberias said it best to Balian and to the audience, "First, I thought we were fighting for God. Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land. I was ashamed."
Main reason was always pride and wealth both Muslims and Christians failed acting for their real norm and goals. Using God for their own selfish goals. Ive been researching more of both sides and how the leaders acted, you will be more dissapointed if you read more. But crusaders attacking and raiding Constantine is a next level dissapointment and shame I guess.
"Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land." That's Every War in the history of Ever. "I was ashamed" More people should be. It might put an end to war.
@@timothybrown8424 It's not a question of fair, it's a question of fact. The causation doesn't vary. The narrative varies. The propaganda varies. The causation doesn't. The root causation is always the same, and that root is power. Land and wealth is the means to keep score.
Before watching, I think the reason is the heavy armor, how someone wear so much clothes and metal in the middle east and expect to live not even win a war, the heat will burn them alive 😅. Second thing is the fact that they have to fight al the way many nations until finally reach Jerusalem. The third thing Muslim were highly advanced in medieval ear, science and knowledge in many aspect compared to the European at the time. Also there is many things considering tax and army and other.
@FutureIsDarkFeaturoid strongest how? Europeans didn't send massive armies to fight Crusades, mostly of them were peasants, artisans, nobleman's and their men...
When the First Crusaders entered Anatolia, only the Anatolian part of the Great Seljuks faced them. They did not receive any help from the Great Seljuk Empire and the Danishmends Turks. They were also defeated with forces that were very few in number compared to the Crusaders. However, as a result of their knowledge of the crusaders and their war systems, with military aids taken from both the Great Seljuks and the Danishmends they succeeded in defeating the crusader armies in the crusade of 1101 and the 2nd crusade . If Barbarossa could had left Anatolia during the 3rd Crusade with his original army, he would have given great support to the crusaders. but he couldn't. In fact, despite his large army, the Seljuks had worn out his army before he drowned in the river. Anyway, after this failure expedition, no Crusader army face to go through Anatolia to Middle East. The biggest blow to the existence of the Crusaders was retaking of Jerusalem by the Kharawasmian Turks in 1244. The battle of Hattin and the battle of La Forbie coused the defeat of the Crusader army the extent of destruction. After Crusaders left from The Middle East, the expeditions we call the crusades, that is the Vatican itself led, were made in Europe. The last crusade in this sense was the Battle of Varna in 1444. First, the Christian armies came, took the some parts of Middle East and stayed for about 200 years. After that, Muslim Turks, on the other hand, took places in Europe as far as Germany and stayed in the region up to Vienna for 500 years. Now, everybody, where they're starting to act first, continues to live in that places. We are just trying to understand the structure, meaning, causes and consequences of ancient wars and campaigns. As humanity, we must find ways to prevent ancient wars from recurring in the modern world we live in and causing millions of innocent people to die.
I mean Muslims themselves projected power that far as well (see Muslim Spain and Umayyad siege of Constantinople) You have to remember multiple European states united to take Jerusalem which was at the time under crumbling fatamid caliphate so it wasn't really difficult.
In fact the hole levant and north africa was in the christians hands befor 700 ad. But the local residents accepted islam and rejected christianity. And the hole region converted to the new religion
@@Eumanel12 You're neglecting the fact that the European powers largely projected their force by using a Navy to move their army. This was a bit of a game-changer, and eventually led to the spice trade in the discovery of the new world. Although many of the crusaders did in fact March to the holy Land, the most successful crusades, especially the one led by Richard the lionhearted, used ships.
Nine hundred and twelve years have passed since the Europeans of northern and western Europe mounted the first crusade against the Muslims who were Arabs , Turks , Kurds and Afghan/Pathan. One siege will provide readers with the flavour of what happened in the 11th century AD. By November 1098 thousand of brutal frankish warriors ( called Franj by their victims ) accompanied by a motley of old men , women and children with the Star of Bethlehem shining in their eyes surrounded the city of Ma'arra on the banks of the Orentes river . The defenders were not an armed and trained Garrison.............. 11th December saw the situation become desperate as the Franj scaled the walls and the citizens took shelter in the tallest buildings . The town notable made contact with Behemond , the commander of the assailants . He promised to spare the lives of the citizens of ma'arra if they surrendered and laid down their arms . The desperate defenders agreed and waited all night in fear and trumbling. At dawn the Franj arrived and the carnage began . The Arab chroniclers wrote " For 3 days they put the people to the sword killing tens of thousands and taking many more prisoners " The Frank chronicler's account is spine chilling. Rudulph of Caen writes : " In Ma'arra our troops boiled pagan adults in cooking pots , they impaled children on spits and devoured them grilled "............ On 13th January 1099 , hundreds of Franj bearing torches roamed the alley ways of Ma'arra setting every house alight . The city walls had already been dismantled stone by stone. Evidence : " Crusade still lives on " Deccan Chronicle ( Indian newspaper ) December - 2-2007 . Sunday suppliment page - 2 Author : Akhilesh mithal This is crusade. This barbarian atrocities still continuing in the name of first world war , second world war , colonial plundered , atomic bombings , dirty bomb, blockades , sanctions ...... Beware of this crusade.

The point is that the crusaders would have Alexandria, wgich had a very large population of christians at the time, as an easy access point and they managed to sack Constantinople, which was the most defensible city in the world.
Before that, Constantinople was considered almost impossible to capture since it's surrounded by sea on three sides and thick walls on one.
I dont think it was right to have called Saladin infamous, because, if you read about his life, he was probably one of the most generous person and kind-hearted and well respected ruler of that time.

I don’t necessarily think it’s that easy to say whether major campaigns like that are “lost” or “won” considering we have no ability to do an A/B test of the alternative. I personally think you would have seen a lot more Islamic conquest, that made it further into central and Western Europe during the Middle Ages if there were no crusade and no pushback against islamism. It’s kind of like when people try to say domino theory was disproven by Vietnam. Was it? I don’t think so....who knows where things would have gone without US intervention against soviet expansion in the third world. Similarly without the crusades Islam wouldn’t have stopped and been largely contained among Arabs in the Mid East. The ottomans made it to Vienna but that’s about as far as they got because of resistance. You can’t just declare something like the crusades a useless and unnecessary war. Tell me that the Muslim siege and conquest of Jerusalem was something to let slide when it happens to NYC, London or some major city that you care about and that effects your life and livelihoods. I think if people had more of the facts they’d understand that doing nothing about the siege of Jerusalem would be like the US doing nothing about 9/11 or Israel just taking Hamas rockets without retaliating. Sounds nice, but only if you’re a weak pussy that doesn’t deserve to have a nation let alone lead it!
Also when you don’t arbitrarily cut off the timeline of the fight for the holy land somewhere in the ottoman controlled 15th century or something then the west is currently winning the war for control of the holy land. Israel and Zionism were always as much about having a friend of the western powers in that region as it was about giving the Jewish people their ancestral homeland back. As a US citizen and non-Jewish Zionist that just saw islamists getting their asses kicked by US/Israeli weaponry...were definitely winning!

It was unattainable target from the start, you just can't hold a city in the heart of an enemy land. Without the sea all these cities were easy to isolate and take one by one.
their target was wrong as well. Had they focused on liberating Anatolia from the turkish, the romans could focus their strenghth in the south against the Ayyubids, for I believe they could even make deals with arabs, who wished to have some peace as much as the romans.
Also Don't forget their greed.they had a achance for peace and yet they f**ked around
1.Saladin did not sacked Jerusalem or Acre like you tried to give the impression at 4:00 .
2.First crusade was very well equipped as was the 7th crusade.
He also incorrectly portrayed that the 4th Crusade sack was due to poor negotiation on the Romans side. This is ridiculous, the Romans hated the crusaders pillaging their lands and invading their capital demanding a ridiculous deal from someone they exiled was always a plan for the Latins to exploit.
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the Latin massacre was far more justified than the 4th Crusade but our Catholic textbooks sell it as they woke up one day unprovoked. The reality is Crusaders would r*pe and help themselves to any Greek countryside and would drunkenly bully merchants and trash the place just do the Latins could break their promises and blame the Byzantines for every failure in the crusades. Meanwhile Italian merchants are gouging they populous and putting all the locals mercilessly out of business and into poverty due lopsided trade deals which culminated in Latin leadership in Constantinople beating down the Greeks even more. There was a revolt when this reached boiling point and the Romans were sick of these foreigners ruining their lives and country while draining their economy by hosting the crusades under the lie of doing “God’s work”. Bohemond betrayed the Crusade for his own ambitions in the First and Fourth Crusade shows God was never in the front of the leader’s minds
@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva the Romans had their Italian holdings forced to convert and many forced to flee from Latin/Papal intervention and that’s fine? Constantinople does the same thing and people.... lose their minds....
The Latin Massacre was an atrocity but it was the eviction from the Capital more than annihilation of an Empire.
1. Saladin actually planned to Sack Jerusalem, as that was a standard Practice at the time but his Brother talked him out of it so he basically asked for "Ransom" of the City's Latin Population. (Saladin was really average for the time was not as kind as he is portrayed.)

I have great respect for Saladin, but he could be just as ruthless as Richard at times. After the Battle of Hattin he executed almost all Templar, Hospitaller, and Turcopole prisoners while selling the Crusader foot soldiers into slavery. In addition, the Massacre at Ayyadieh, where Richard executed 3000 captives from Acre, was prompted in part because Richard believed that Saladin was stalling for time. In addition, Saladin executed all Christian prisoners in his hands after he saw Richard's actions at Ayyadieh.

I think internal decisions in Europe. Eventually Kings realized they needed their best men to fight wars back at home and so they started pushing back on the crusaders. That's not to say they universally failed. They were able to reconquer what is modern day Spain and Portugal from the Moores and the Tectonic order had some success in Eastern European.

Truth is they failed miserably. The resultant push back = Ottomans ruling up to Venice Austria. Almohads ruling up to the border of France.

It was a bad response to 300 years of Muslim conquest in Europe and beyond.
A well planned reconquest of Spain 300 years earlier, following a buffering of Byzantium to retake Turkey- Egypt.
Part of the failure of the crusades in the Holy Land was due to the sheer geographic distance that the Christians had to operate from, especially considering the logistical problems faced by medieval armies. Most of the crusaders hailed from faraway places like France, England, and the Holy Roman Empire. The Holy Land is much closer to the Muslim power bases of Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Arabia, which made things much easier for the Islamic armies.
Well, on the other hand, trying to convince the Armenians who had just fled the highlands after getting sacked, first by the Romans, and then by the Turks, to do their dirty work instead would have been a bigger recipe for disaster
Crusaders come from whole Europe even from Byzantium crusades even starts just to reestablished the old mighty Byzantine Empire on its knee which was scattered after arab victories after victories and the conquest of 2/3 of Rome.
Thus Byzantine Empire aided crusaders everytime while crusaders state received constant knights,soilders,levy and goods from Italian states like Papal states and venice.
Muslims simply had stronger, better equiped armies than the backwards Europeans.
lach of unity
Also, because the Islamic Army defeated most of their rivals (ie. the Fatamids), and could move their troops to defend Jerusalem. They also had many Jewish mercenaries due to their tolerance of the Jews.
Another thing that contributed to the failure was the international struggles in Europe. These kingdoms weren't exactly united and had dynastic rivalries and disputes over successions. Things like crop failures, plagues were larger concerns for European kingdoms. Their home problems became larger problems than places further away from them.
Lots of internal struggles between Nilfgaard, Redania, Kaedwin and Temeria.
you think that only occur on europe? you think the region the try to conquer not having such problem?
@@anplusdre No one said that
Expecially because they were seen as invaders also by the Copts (egyptians Christians) that were well deal,as the jews, by Saladin, the catholics weren't so tolerant, being conquered by these crusaders wasn't as being conquered by,f.e., Alexander
@@anplusdre His point is that the Europeans had problems at home with which they had to deal with, taking their attention away from the Middle East and to Europe. He didn't say that Middle Easterners couldn't have similar problems..
If you're already living in the Middle East, you can deal with the problem while staying where you live. But for Europeans, these problems meant they had to look away from the Middle East and focus on their home soil.
Some of the most notable Muslim victories during the Crusades include:
-Battle of Hattin (1187): This was a decisive victory for the Muslim forces led by Saladin against the Crusader army led by King Guy of Jerusalem. The Crusader army was largely destroyed, and many of its leaders were captured or killed, including King Guy.
-Siege of Jerusalem (1187): Following the victory at the Battle of Hattin, Saladin was able to capture Jerusalem, which had been held by the Crusaders since 1099. The city was taken without bloodshed, and Saladin allowed the Christian inhabitants to leave unharmed.
-Battle of Ain Jalut (1260): This was a major victory for the Muslim forces led by Qutuz and Baybars against the Mongol army led by Hulagu Khan. The Mongol advance into the Middle East was halted, and the Muslim forces were able to establish a more secure position in the region.
These victories were significant in terms of the impact they had on the Crusades and the balance of power in the region. They also played a role in shaping the history of the Middle East and the relationship between the Muslim and Christian worlds.
Battle of field of blood
Second battle of antioch
Battle of Damietta
The battle of Ain Julut was not led by Khulagu Khan, Khulegu left one of his generals(Khetbukha) with a vanguard of his army. It was a loss, but it was definitely not the majority of the mongol army and only a mere vanguard
Battle of la forbe
Hulugu turned back before the Mamluk victory against the Mongols. Had he not, a different outcome in the battle would be quite possible.
@@Demaybe1661 thing is, mongols came back and baibar still defeated them...
I still.feel.that it was very tough for the crusaders to pull this against the mighty Muslims in those days...Muslims were prior victorious in those days only Mongols were able to put them away but again Muslims were very quick on their feet to regain what they lost it was their nature of somewhat never giving up
it was words battles back then modern battle with guns thanks and jets we sufferd a lot of casualties from israel
Not israel we suffered because of disunity and will continue until we unite.
Didn’t the Mongols become muslims at the end? like 3/4 of their empire became muslims
Muslims were past the prime by the time of crusades (I mean prior to the rise of the ottomans or the Timurids), the Abbassids and Cordoba were nowhere near the peak of the their power; even the seljuk turks may not have been as powerful as they were under alp Arslan
*The ETERNAL GOD would do anything for you!! Even out of love for you he went to the cross as a human!!* Philippians 2:5-8
The Crusades are one more example that conquering territory and holding on to that territory are very different tasks.
Politics and intrigue. The Crusaders hated each other almost as much as they hated their Saracen enemies. After the First Crusade, it was no longer about liberating the Holy Land, it was about establishing your own states and becoming kings. There's also other things as well, like bad decisions [Hattin] and bad luck or divine intervention [whichever you prefer] with the sudden death of Emperor Frederick.
the kingdom established by the crusades was keep for a century, after that the times were different,
How did Frederick the death of a cruciferous war and what was his role in it and why Germany named the Sagbati Union of Soufati on his name

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
That does not apply here though. That's because that is not the definition of insanity, that is just what Albert Einstein was believed to have said at one point. Definition of insanity: "mental illness of such a severe nature that a person cannot distinguish fantasy from reality, cannot conduct her/his affairs due to psychosis, or is subject to uncontrollable impulsive behavior."
We can all just throw random quotes around:
“I have tried 99 times and have failed, but on the 100th time came success.” - Albert Einstein
"If at first you don't succeed try, try and try again." - Robert The Bruce
“I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.” - Thomas Edison

2:12 Wrong, Crusaders did not take Jerusalem from Seljuk Turks, but from the Fatimids, because in 1098 Fatimids attacked Jerusalem with catapults and after a 6-week siege, the Seljuk garrison withdrew from the city.
During the Second Crusade, some 3,000 French knights were starved in southwest Anatolia after the war. The Seljuk soldiers, whom they fought yesterday, were dying of hunger, and the food and drink aid was given to 3,000 French knights who were left in the enemy's territory. The French soldiers changed their religion and became Muslims after a while.

@@JetConvoy you say that but Richard is the one who retreated back to Europe and Saladin kept Jerusalem and won
I read that Richard: well, probably could have taken the city, but like you said, he wouldn’t have likely been able to hold onto it much longer after word, but also in the fact of what was going on back in England, and I think it was, his son was threatening to overthrow him. He ended up also getting sick while on campaign against Saladin and all of those factors led to the reason why Richard didn’t end up, marching on the city to take Jerusalem
I don’t think it was his son?
@@-Ahmed8592 no sorry I meant to put his brother future king John
Actually Richard was not as good of a leader as Saladin. He completely destroyed the morale of his own army and soldiers. Let his army get insight and close to Jerusalem twice and than changing plans and marching back. There were people who had waited years for Jerusalem and Richard's plans hurt them. And the army was not in state of holding off a counterattack from Saladin,who himself was weakened as half of his allies had left since Jerusalem was reconquered.Richard won some battles but lost the war,as was inevitable
I remember there was an issue in Constantinople's markets against Venetians, they were exiled, and as a vendetta, Venice invaded Constantinopla.
The Venetians had trasported the Crudaders to Constantinople and since the Crudaders were unable to pay the prize of the transport requested, the Venetians profited from the looting of the city by the angry Crusaders to participate
wrong, actually and ironically the son of the disposed emperor Issac Angelos, Alexios Angelos asked the Crusaders to divert to Constantinople to restore his father and he would pay for the transport, when they went there and did sack the city, Alexios got assassinated, you got it half right since the crusaders did capture the city of Zara for Venice to repay for transport

The 1st crusade was not made by peasants as the video says. The People’s crusade (which came right before) was the one made by peasants and common folks. The 1st crusade was made mainly by knights, nobility, and men at arms.
Effectively the first wave was lead by Peter the ermit, a bunch of fanatical peasants that sacked and destroied a lot of countries, ending massacred somewhere (Anatolia? I don't remember)
It also failed because of the sheer distance between Jerusalem and Europe. The amount of coordination in logistics, armies and many other components. Also, the Crudaders were fighting in unfamiliar lands.

Of course the Muslim forces were indeed strong, they were United where as you can’t fully say the crusaders were. This is again hand in hand with the fact the crusaders had travel long distances from their homelands.
And also stupidity from the pope.

Me every time when a crusade happens in Crusader Kings 3. I only donate some gold to the cause just not to get excommunicated. The AI is incredibly stupid, they split into multiple groups of only 1000 men and they get completely destroyed by death stacks of 20 000 enemy troops.
Thats so true
my brother from another mother, just send part of your troops and have lead the sieges on important places like Jerusalem, the score will count towards you and when the Crusade is won you get Jerusalem, don’t do it with the Pope’s troops because it will fail

Saludin was a great person and warrior as well.
Saladin was a genius in his time and definitely several centuries ahead of time in terms of the way he ruled and his understanding of how to deal with the fragile and multi-ethnic situation in the Levant. He was well respected by the nobility in Europe and apparently he and King Richard sent gifts back and forth.

10, when the Ottomans were taking over lands were the first one in their own holy war.
The crusades would have been a success if they had started retaking Asia minor making its way down to Syria and finally in jerusalem. That is what the Macedonians and kind of what the Romans did and they were successful.
But starting with the levant makes supplying the newly conquered cities difficult.
That's true, but if they did that they would give way too much power to the Byzantines, which wouldn't be a smart move, considering that they absolutely hated the Byzantines and even destroyed their capital.
@@strangergelt5182
By just establishing an alliance of crusader states in Asia Minor maybe during the 1st or 2nd crusade would greatly aid and supply the subsequent campaigns. They didn't necessarily have to give those lands back to the Byzantines as demonstrated by blatantly ignoring their oaths to the Byzantine emperor that they shall AID on taking back their rightful lands and not take it for themselves.
@@julesbrags1661 Yeah, that's actually true. I agree
The Byzantines did capture a big part of Territories after the first crusade (komnenian restoration ) l think that the Byzantine wouldn't allow the crusades to capture Asia minor ( pillaging sacking etc major cities ) because it was territory of the eastern Roman empire some years later
@@julesbrags1661 Crusader states didn’t have the power to maintain states in Anatolia. This is the Komnenos Byzantine Empire we’re talking about who at their height Vassalized the principality of Antioch and Allied with Jerusalem. Their success and very existence relied on Byzantine Aid and support.
It’s no surprise once the Byzantines got weak(and then destroyed) so did the Crusader States.

It will fall back to Christian hands ✝️
The Crusades were a series of ambitious military campaigns, but many ultimately failed to achieve their goals due to logistical challenges, disunity, and strong resistance. This chapter in war history highlights how strategy and diplomacy often outweigh brute force on the battlefield.
The 4th crusade was the beginning of the end for Constantinople. It set back western civilization 300 years & allowed the Turks free rein in the former eastern Roman Empire.
Have you ever considered that maybe the Pope was not only behind that sacking in 1204, but the epic betrayal by Big Nick Ducas at Manzikert in 1071? The entire Christian East was toppled after just those 2 events!
Christianity was the downfall of europe
@@atsstaaatsssatss4501 Not even remotely true.

In the movie Kingdom of Heaven, Jeremy Irons character Tiberias said it best to Balian and to the audience, "First, I thought we were fighting for God. Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land. I was ashamed."
Until you realize that is actually for both reason
Main reason was always pride and wealth both Muslims and Christians failed acting for their real norm and goals. Using God for their own selfish goals. Ive been researching more of both sides and how the leaders acted, you will be more dissapointed if you read more. But crusaders attacking and raiding Constantine is a next level dissapointment and shame I guess.
"Then I realized we were fighting for wealth and land."
That's Every War in the history of Ever.

@@piperar2014 It's not fair to simplify EVERY war in that matter. Sure, most times the victors get the spoils, but the causations varied.
@@timothybrown8424 It's not a question of fair, it's a question of fact. The causation doesn't vary. The narrative varies. The propaganda varies. The causation doesn't. The root causation is always the same, and that root is power. Land and wealth is the means to keep score.
Before watching, I think the reason is the heavy armor, how someone wear so much clothes and metal in the middle east and expect to live not even win a war, the heat will burn them alive 😅.
Second thing is the fact that they have to fight al the way many nations until finally reach Jerusalem.
The third thing Muslim were highly advanced in medieval ear, science and knowledge in many aspect compared to the European at the time.
Also there is many things considering tax and army and other.
You clearly do not understand the time well after the first crusade the christian had the same technological level as the muslims
As for going to the holy land they didnt
They could make a deal with the byzantines or just sail and the byzantines are the only one blocking other than the turks
Now finally clothes and metal was a semi problem as they also gave crusaders an advantage
@FutureIsDarkFeaturoid strongest how? Europeans didn't send massive armies to fight Crusades, mostly of them were peasants, artisans, nobleman's and their men...
When the First Crusaders entered Anatolia, only the Anatolian part of the Great Seljuks faced them. They did not receive any help from the Great Seljuk Empire and the Danishmends Turks. They were also defeated with forces that were very few in number compared to the Crusaders. However, as a result of their knowledge of the crusaders and their war systems, with military aids taken from both the Great Seljuks and the Danishmends they succeeded in defeating the crusader armies in the crusade of 1101 and the 2nd crusade . If Barbarossa could had left Anatolia during the 3rd Crusade with his original army, he would have given great support to the crusaders. but he couldn't. In fact, despite his large army, the Seljuks had worn out his army before he drowned in the river. Anyway, after this failure expedition, no Crusader army face to go through Anatolia to Middle East.
The biggest blow to the existence of the Crusaders was retaking of Jerusalem by the Kharawasmian Turks in 1244. The battle of Hattin and the battle of La Forbie coused the defeat of the Crusader army the extent of destruction. After Crusaders left from The Middle East, the expeditions we call the crusades, that is the Vatican itself led, were made in Europe.
The last crusade in this sense was the Battle of Varna in 1444. First, the Christian armies came, took the some parts of Middle East and stayed for about 200 years. After that, Muslim Turks, on the other hand, took places in Europe as far as Germany and stayed in the region up to Vienna for 500 years.
Now, everybody, where they're starting to act first, continues to live in that places. We are just trying to understand the structure, meaning, causes and consequences of ancient wars and campaigns.
As humanity, we must find ways to prevent ancient wars from recurring in the modern world we live in and causing millions of innocent people to die.
Considering they were able to project power over the distance that they did, it's miraculous that they ever succeeded in the first place.
Thank you! Finally a sensible comment.
I mean Muslims themselves projected power that far as well (see Muslim Spain and Umayyad siege of Constantinople)
You have to remember multiple European states united to take Jerusalem which was at the time under crumbling fatamid caliphate so it wasn't really difficult.
In fact the hole levant and north africa was in the christians hands befor 700 ad. But the local residents accepted islam and rejected christianity. And the hole region converted to the new religion
Nah, many European kingdoms united forces and the Muslims were very unprepared in the first crusade, so no
@@Eumanel12 You're neglecting the fact that the European powers largely projected their force by using a Navy to move their army. This was a bit of a game-changer, and eventually led to the spice trade in the discovery of the new world. Although many of the crusaders did in fact March to the holy Land, the most successful crusades, especially the one led by Richard the lionhearted, used ships.
No info on further Crusades? Such as the ones against the Ottomans? And how Crusaders got theirs asses handed to them outside Nicopolis and/or Varna?
Or the Iberian/Baltic/Albigensian ones?

why not attack fellow christians?

Nine hundred and twelve years have passed since the Europeans of northern and western Europe mounted the first crusade against the Muslims who were Arabs , Turks , Kurds and Afghan/Pathan.
One siege will provide readers with the flavour of what happened in the 11th century AD.
By November 1098 thousand of brutal frankish warriors ( called Franj by their victims ) accompanied by a motley of old men , women and children with the Star of Bethlehem shining in their eyes surrounded the city of Ma'arra on the banks of the Orentes river . The defenders were not an armed and trained Garrison.............. 11th December saw the situation become desperate as the Franj scaled the walls and the citizens took shelter in the tallest buildings . The town notable made contact with Behemond , the commander of the assailants . He promised to spare the lives of the citizens of ma'arra if they surrendered and laid down their arms .
The desperate defenders agreed and waited all night in fear and trumbling. At dawn the Franj arrived and the carnage began . The Arab chroniclers wrote
" For 3 days they put the people to the sword killing tens of thousands and taking many more prisoners "
The Frank chronicler's account is spine chilling. Rudulph of Caen writes :
" In Ma'arra our troops boiled pagan adults in cooking pots , they impaled children on spits and devoured them grilled "............
On 13th January 1099 , hundreds of Franj bearing torches roamed the alley ways of Ma'arra setting every house alight . The city walls had already been dismantled stone by stone.
