Hello, I have a history essay due in tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have missed a lot of lessons, so I lack key information needed to answer the question. I'd really appreciate it if any of you knowledgeable in the crusades could offer evidence and events that support or disagree with the statement the question is centered around, so I can use and analyze the information in this essay. The question is: How far did the first crusade owe its success to the religious zeal of its supporters? I am aware of a few examples of secular reasons and religious motivations for crusaders and crusade leaders, but not nearly enough for the essay. I know threads like this are a pain in the arse to reply to, but PLEASE HELP if you can! Even a bit of help and input would be greatly appreciated. |

The motivation for the first crusade was for financial gain the fact that "the enemy" was in the Holy Land and non Christian was used as a rational for Church funding, who saw this as an investment themselfs. It also made recruiting easier as most of the officers were the sons of nobility. |

i've taken the liberty of writing your entire essay for you: The Crusades 6/12/04 by CS2x The crusades were a really fun time. There were crusaders and there were Indians. But really, the Indians weren't from India at all, so now they're called Native Americans. There was a lot of fighting. Both crusaders and Indians fought each other. There was a lot of blood in the crusades. Mostly, it was blood that came out of people. Jesus also had blood that we now drink at church. We also eat his body. He is delicious. Some of the blood also came out of animals. But not horses, because they ran away. In conclusion, the crusades were very violent, bloody, dangerous times. I would not like to live there. There was also a Black Plague. That's the stuff that gets on your teeth if you don't brush them. I hate the crusades. The End. |
