@PRAETORIAN.10 @pooja195 can you guys take a look at this?

pooja195 (pooja195):

well which one do you think it may be?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not really sure :/

pooja195 (pooja195):

well what were the crusades? do you know?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

OMG OMG LET ME ANSWER THIS

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

I LOVE THE CRUSADES

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

basically the crusades was Christandom's way of purging the holy lads from the infidels

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

it was pronounced that Deus Vult (God wills it) and thousands of knights traveled to win honour and forgiveness

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

the Popes declared that any who join will be absolved of their sins

OpenStudy (dantefemboy):

Talking about Deus Vult. I'm doing something like that in English. Lol

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

the irrita (infidels) were practicing heathen things and this angered the college of cardinals

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

so honestly, all the answers are kind of correct it depends on what stage we're talking about

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

at the beginning of rivalries? half-way through? at its culmination?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

we shall hence assume we are being general and discussing the overall effect of the crusades thereof

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im not sure i guess in the end maybe

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

as i said

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

:)

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

by the end of the crusades the East had been oped up to whole new cultures from across the Mediterranean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so B?

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

depends on the definition of assimilation. such seems too forceful a term in this scenario

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

they did, and still remain, to retain an extreme disparity with other cultures - at least religiously

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

the east had many valuable trade goods and the ports of Acre (for example) had supreme access to the sea

OpenStudy (praetorian.10):

by the conclusion of the crusades, thousands had died, rivalries still existed, (a while later) trade had flourished (an oxymoron i know) and the West and East became a lot more familiar
