Question

Which of the following about the Crusades is not true?
A. The rise of the Seljuk Empire was the immediate cause of the Crusades.

B. The concern of European Christian leaders over the spread of the Islamic faith was a long-term cause of the Crusades.

C. The Crusades were unsuccessful from the beginning, met with strong opposition from the united Islamic world.

D. In the aftermath of the Crusades, the nations of Europe began to look inward.

Answer 1

They were a series of religiously inspired campaigns. Prior to the Crusades, Muslim leaders generally protected Christian pilgrims.Economic forces such as the desire to increase trade and land hunger were contributing factors.

Answer 2

I'd probably go with (C). They weren't unsuccessful from the start. The First Crusade was the only Crusade to have any real degree of success having managed to seize Jerusalem and set up European-held strongholds (Crusader States). The following Crusades weren't nearly as successful, often weakening European positions instead of strengthening them and poised more to hold onto what they could as opposed to cutting deeply into Muslim lands.
