OpenStudy (anonymous):

World history in Pennsylvania virtual school if that helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here is the assessment: Historians have learned a great deal about the Crusades from chroniclers like William of Tyre and Ibn al-Qalanisi. Today, reporters and newscasters travel all over the world to report on international events, including conflicts. Reporters and world leaders use social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook to connect with the public. Imagine what we might know had there been access to television, cell phones, and social media in the 13th century. Time to imagine there was social media during the Crusades! Your assignment is to write posts that certain important figures could have written had social media existed. You will write one post for each of the following: Pope Urban II, Peter the Hermit, William of Tyre, Saladin, and Richard the Lionheart. Each post will tell about events of the Crusades from the point of view of each figure. Organize your posts in this chart. As you prepare each post, keep the following points in mind: •5 Posts- You should have a total of five written posts, one for each figure. Use your own words. You will submit the posts in the chart to your instructor. •Accurate Details - Include details about the events and the historical figures involved in each time period. Include dates, if available. Make sure your posts are in chronological order, and note that a person can only write social media posts when alive. (For example, you should not write a post for Pope Urban II that follows the Third Crusade.) Check to make sure your writing is accurate. Others are counting on these leaders for the right information! •2 Maps - Cite specific locations and explain their importance. Use at least two maps from this lesson in the posts. This means two of your posts will have maps. •3-5 Sentences Per Post - The posts should be brief, but thorough enough to provide details about the five important figures and show your understanding of the Crusades. This means you should write between three and five sentences for each post.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

First Crusade Afraid the Turks would attack Constantinople, the Byzantine emperor Alexius I asked the Roman church for help. He proposed that eastern and western Christians should join forces and drive out the Turks from Anatolia and Palestine. This endeavor would be called a Holy War, or Crusade. The pope, Urban II, agreed to this plan for two reasons. First, he thought a combined East-West war against the Turks could reunite the eastern and western churches. Second, he wanted to free Palestine and Jerusalem from Muslim rule. Alexius expected western Europeans to send just a few hundred soldiers to help out his army. Instead, they put together a huge force that consisted of about 30,000 soldiers. These soldiers came from France, Germany, and Italy. At first, the Crusade was successful. The European armies reconquered parts of Anatolia and then captured Jerusalem in 1099 CE. Also, the crusaders returned the land they conquered in Anatolia to the Byzantine Empire. Then the crusaders set up four kingdoms in East Asia. The Muslims, however, soon regrouped and conquered these domains. After this, many western Europeans who took part in the Crusade remained in the Byzantine Empire. These Europeans were called Latins. They did business in Constantinople and some of them held government positions. Relations between the Byzantines and Latins, though, were often strained. The Byzantines viewed the Latins as savage barbarians. In addition, the Byzantines thought that the religious beliefs of the Latins were heretical, and the Latins felt similarly about the beliefs of the Byzantines. Added tension came from the Byzantine relationship with the Venetians. Because of a trade agreement, Venetians did not have to pay custom duties on imports and exports. In addition, Venice took control of several Byzantine trade routes. As a result, the trade profit of Byzantine merchants decreased significantly. All of these factors fueled a growing Byzantine resentment of the Latins and Venetians. In fact, this hatred boiled over in a riot of Byzantines in Constantinople, during which thousands of Latins were killed.

ok* lol

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

The Second and Third Crusades had little effect on the Byzantine Empire. The Fourth Crusade, however, had a major impact on this domain. This crusade, consisting mostly of Latin soldiers, began in 1198 CE. When the crusaders arrived in Venice, Alexius Angelus, the nephew of the Byzantine emperor, offered them a deal. Alexius offered to pay for the necessary warships for the crusaders if they would defeat the current Byzantine emperor and make Alexius the ruler. The crusaders and Venetians agreed. In 1203 CE, the crusaders and Venetians attacked Constantinople, causing the emperor to flee the city. Alexius then declared himself emperor and the crusaders, encamped around the city, waited for their pay. The Byzantines, however, discovered Alexius’s deal with the crusaders and killed him. Left with no pay, the crusaders captured and plundered Constantinople, destroying part of the city. After this, the crusaders established a Latin Empire, which controlled only Constantinople. The Byzantines set up a government in exile. The Latin emperors had little money and were surrounded by hostile states. In 1259 CE, the exiled Byzantine emperor, Michael VIII, defeated the Latin army. Then in 1261 CE, he led a small army into Constantinople, which was undefended. The Latin forces were away fighting near the Black Sea. When the Latins realized that Michael had taken control of Constantinople, they fled the area. This ended the period of Latin rule and restored the Byzantine Empire. Michael attempted to build up the empire and reconquered a few lost territories. The effect of the Latins on the Byzantine Empire, however, was devastating; it never fully recovered. Indeed, the plundering of Constantinople was so extensive that the resulting damage was only partially repaired even 50 years later.

ur amazing bai thanks:) i will try to work with this..lol

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

lol would u rather me split it into 10 parts in a diff form of writing that seems easier

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idk... lol i am failing this class and trying to get the grade up.. lol

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

1. The first crusade was in the near East and involved Anatolia, Levant, and Palestine.It was a military expedition aimed at reclaiming the Holy Lands that the Muslim conquest of the Levant had acquired. The Pope Urban II launched the Crusades in 1095 in hopes of fulfilling the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I's request of gaining western volunteers to come to his aid.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

2. During the first wave of the Crusades, there were many different players, including Godfrey of Bouillon, the medieval Frankish knight who became the first ruler of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. When he did so, he abandoned the title of 'king.' In the end, there was a decisive Crusader victory during the First Crusade that led to the territorial changes regarding the Kingdom of Jerusalem. Other Crusader states were created. (once again make shure to change this up alittle because this is not comeing out of my head, this information is coming from the internet because I suck with the crusades)

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

3. Following their newfound control of Jerusalem, the Crusaders established four Crusader states: the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the County of Edessa, the Principality of Antioch, and the County of Tripoli. In the beginning, the Muslims did not immediately retaliate against the Crusader states because they suffered a great deal of internal conflicts.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are these the answers? or just examples..lol

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

4. when they were able to sort out their differences, the Muslims began to reunite under the leadership of Imad al-Din Zangi. His first measure was to retake Edessa, which was the first city to fall to the Crusaders. They took back the city in 1144. This was the action that prompted the Pope to call for a second Crusade.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

5. the second crusade:The contagion of the holy enthusiasm seized not only barons, knights, and the common people, which classes alone participated in the First Crusade, but kings and emperors were now infected with the sacred frenzy. St. Bernard's eloquence induced two monarchs, Louis VII of France and Conrad III of Germany, to take the blood-red cross of a crusader. Conrad III., emperor of Germany, was persuaded to leave the affairs of his distracted empire in the hands of God, and consecrate himself to the defence of the sepulchre of Christ. Louis VII., king of France, was led to undertake the crusade through remorse for an act of great cruelty that he had perpetrated upon some of his revolted subjects.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

these are true facts mija lol that i found tht tlk bout the crusades that yes might as well be called answeres ig but if u read thru them u wiill find what u need for sho

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

6. The Failure of the Second Crusade The Second Crusade, though begun under the most favorable auspices, had an unhappy ending. Of the great host that set out from Europe, only a few thousands escaped annihilation in Asia Minor at the hands of the Turks. Louis and Conrad, with the remnants of their armies, made a joint attack on Damascus, but had to raise the siege after a few days. This closed the crusade. As a chronicler of the expedition remarked, "having practically accomplished nothing, the inglorious ones returned home." The strength of both the French and the German division of the expedition was wasted in Asia Minor, and the crusade accomplished nothing. ( I might end up with more information at the end so you might want to mix some of these together)

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

7. The Third Crusade is organised The news of the taking of Jerusalem spread consternation throughout western Christendom. The cry for another crusade arose on all sides. Once more thousands of men sewed the cross in gold, or silk, or cloth upon their garments and set out for the Holy Land. When the three greatest rulers of Europe - King Philip Augustus of France, King Richard I of England, and the German emperor, Frederick Barbarossa assumed the cross, it seemed that nothing could prevent the restoration of Christian supremacy in Syria. These great rulers set out, each at the head of a large army, for the recovery of the Holy City of Jerusalem.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

8. The Ransom of King Richard King Richard on his return from the Holy Land was shipwrecked off the coast of the Adriatic. Attempting to travel through Austria in disguise, he was captured by the duke of Austria, whom he had offended at the siege of Acre. The king regained his liberty only by paying a ransom equivalent to more than twice the annual revenues of England.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

9. The Fourth Crusade - The Crusaders and the Venetians The leaders of the crusade decided to make Egypt their objective point, since this country was then the center of the Moslem power. Accordingly, the crusaders proceeded to Venice, for the purpose of securing transportation across the Mediterranean. The Venetians agreed to furnish the necessary ships only on condition that the crusaders first seized Zara on the eastern coast of the Adriatic. Zara was a Christian city, but it was also a naval and commercial rival of Venice. In spite of the pope's protests the crusaders besieged and captured the city. Even then they did not proceed against the Moslems. The Venetians persuaded them to turn their arms against Constantinople. The possession of that great capital would greatly increase Venetian trade and influence in the East; for the crusading nobles it held out endless opportunities of acquiring wealth and power. Thus it happened that these soldiers of the Cross, pledged to war with the Moslems, attacked a Christian city, which for centuries had formed the chief bulwark of Europe against the Arab and the Turk.

OpenStudy (morganchavez):

1o.Consequences of the Fourth Crusade Constantinople, after the Fourth Crusade, declined in strength and could no longer cope with the barbarians menacing it. Two centuries later the city fell an easy victim to the Turks. The responsibility for the disaster which gave the Turks a foothold in Europe rests on the heads of the Venetians and the French nobles. Their greed and lust for power turned the Fourth Crusade into a political adventure. (the map thing I have no idea what that means so you will probly have to do that part yourself.)
