As a french, I'm always surprised by the way the Crusades are viewed by the anglo-saxon public. I've never heard something as "The Crusade were aggression" or "a terrible crime". It was an adventure, driven by faith, and which gave rise to exchanges more than a simple fight between enemy religions. The Middle East being at the time one very diverse region, in its cultural and religious mix. Also, it should not be forgotten that, at the time of the Crusaders, the Middle East was a Christian land only a few centuries ago. Islam having only appeared in the 7th century and the first crusade taking place at the beginning of the 11th century

I truly appreciate videos like these. Most don’t understand the context of history ands what actually happened

The issue I see many modern zoomers have is the notion that the Crusades were all failures other than the First Crusade. This misconception comes from the fact that the other Crusades were unable to retake the city of Jerusalem. But to be honest most modern historians over simplify the retaking of Jerusalem as the only true goal of the Crusades. Most Crusades actually didn’t even have this goal in mind. Looking beyond the recapture of Jerusalem the Crusades actually did yield some incredible results. The Northern Crusades and Reconquista were completely successful in the long term. The Third Crusade led to the capture of Cyprus, Tyre, and Jaffa. Richard Lionheart beat Saladin in all 3 of the major battles fought against one another, despite being outnumbered. This led to a Crusader military victory where Saladin was forced to be chill with Christians and was unable to expand further into the other Crusader states. Also the Sixth Crusade actually led to direct Christian control of Jerusalem once again. Really the Crusades have become a subject of historical misunderstanding and deliberate misleading by modern cut throat ideologues.

The Austrian flag has its origins in the Third Crusade (1189-1192). The Babenberger Leopold V was an Austrian duke. It is said that after the siege and subsequent battle of Akkon, his white robe was completely soaked in blood, save for a white stripe where he wore his sword belt. In 1191, Heinrich VI gave Leopold the red-white-red coat of arms. After the Babenbergs died out, the Habsburgs inherited the coat of arms and it became the colors of the House of Austria. It's one of the oldest, still in use, flags.

To add further context, Mohammed himself had planned to attack Byzantium, but died in 632 before he was able to get there. The first siege of Constantinople began 42 years later in 674. By the time of the first Crusade in 1095, Muslim armies had been attacking the West for over 400 years before the European powers decided to counter attack. I think almost half a millennium of aggression is more than enough justification to take the fight to the enemy. The Europeans were definitely not the aggressors in this situation.

Alot of Christians cater to easily to athiesm and secularism as it slowly eats away at the very core beliefs of Christianity. Nowadays it's getting hard to even tell what exactly a Christian is when so much of the religion is being changed. Some Christians think saving the faith means joining Christian fundamentalists organizations and spreading hate to other religions and all this does is push Christianity into a political ideology. The reason why islam is so successful right now is due to how robust it is, the people are both tolerant yet Intolerant, A perfect blend. I feel as though for Christianity to truly be saved in this era they must return to the source. Practice Christianity the way the early Christians did at the time of Jesus, bring back the old methods of praying, bring back the headscarf, bring back The old ways to better battle this culture war. Other wise I don't see Christianity surviving against this future, liberal, secular, Lgbt future that will eventually reach every home.

Amazes me people can't understand the double standards, one man's pirate is another man's mercenary. Both sides caused suffering to all people's.

This video does an amazing job in giving a clear image of the circumstances around the crusades, and justifies them very well, but I also think it proves the point that state and religion should be kept separate, not because of any one particular religion, but because of all of them. And that doesn't mean atheist either, but it just shouldn't be a factor in politics. Its best off when a government caters to all religious needs equally when possible, indiscriminate of how popular or appeasing a religion is to any individual or group. Otherwise we're not going to stop fighting about it period. It wont solve 90% of our problems but its a factor that causes so much unnecessary pain. In fact most of the religious texts I've read agree that judging another human is not up to the individual, and we should respect each others personal decisions instead of being arrogant and aggressive

I'm not even Christian, and this video still spoke to me. Love this video!

If You are from the West, You’ll be educated in Western history that’s deemed relevant to You. There is a reason the Crusades have been part of Western educational curriculum for centuries. Don’t forget, the majority of the Western World were still practicing Christians up into the 20th century and the narrative most of Us were taught about the Crusades, was only that of pilgrimage and liberation. Only, that’s not entirely true. Funnily enough, the Muslim conquests into Europe aren’t interpreted w/in the Islamic World as being necessarily positive, particularly after the first Crusade. Comparing how Our cultures interpret these events is both surprising and interesting. However, if You’re truly interested in learning about this part of history, watching Videos like the one We’re commenting on, is definitely not the place to start. I’d recommend learning about the religions and their denominations to begin with, that’ll give You a better understanding of things. ‘Usefulcharts’ & ‘Let’s talk Religion’ channels are good, credible and tangible sources of information on this topic.

"Saladins Mercy to Christians." I guessing you are mentioning the incident of Saladin conquering Jerusalem. It was most likely political decision to pacify the newly conquered land so that you can maintain the area while your military expand to new area. Saladdin was not actually a peaceful invader instead he did many things that was cruel and bloodthirsty. He was not definitely merciful to Christians. But then again it was the norm of the medieval warfare just like 'pillaging' was also the normal part of medieval conquest.

The Crusades were a response to 3 centuries of Muslim conquest and aggression. The Crusades were also a remarkable military victory establishing kingdoms that lasted for well over a century.

From what I experienced, most Americans and Canadians think the crusades were terrible and have no idea what has happened prior to the crusades.

As a Greek and a historian, I can safely say that this interpretation of the Crusades is not so present here in my country - Somewhat encounterable on the societal level, but certainly not on the academic level whatsoever. Our cultural heritage aligns with the Byzantine/Eastern-Roman Empire, which at the outbreak of the Crusades had been slowly losing territory first to the Fatimid and later Seljuk Empires for well over a century at least. As mentioned, the reason the Crusades even took place is because Emperor Alexios called upon Christendom in the West for help in a losing war when the Seljuks were nearly at the gates of Constantinople. In their own way, the Crusades were simply another phase of the Byzantine-Seljuk Wars. Our own cultural point-of-view is one that disproves the more modern western interpretation of the Crusades.

I loved crusaders when I was little but then as I got a bit older, I found out that they sacked Constantinople in 1204, that one sack decimated the Eastern Roman Empire and ultimately weakened them enough that they fell in 1453. Eastern Roman was one of my favourites. Christians attacking Christians, killed and looted their own brothers.

Most Muslims see the Crusade as a war of Christian aggression against Islam but they forgot that Islam was spread by the conquest of Christian land (and the Sassanid Persia). Perhaps it's this one-sided view of history that causes Muslims youth more susceptible to extremism as they see what happens in the modern world (war, civil conflict and poverty in Muslim countries) as a continuation of the Crusade by the "West".

Islam spread the government authority not religion necessarily. There is no force conversation. Up until Ottoman 16th century Christians are still majority population in Egypt and Levant for example. Bro, there is absolutely no reason for the Crusades not to mention Muslims have laws of war and especially in early days and more especially before the turks as the turks where learning Islam yet as u read about first Caliphate and first and only true Caliphs rules and laws and speeches about war, they didn't do the things Byzantium or normal armies at the time do. Also they don't force convert people infact they didn't want the people to quickly switch and funded their religious institutions to keep them religious and close to Abrahamic religions as well so they can keep paying taxes as Muslims are untaxable in Islam my a Muslim government (Only non-muslim pay 10% tax on income, and rich Muslims pay 2.5% special tax on wealth that goes only to special box which used for only in 99% of the time on social warfare and development to Muslims whom unfortunate and in need as first priority and non-muslims if there is still a reminder especially the special need ones. Force conversation is prohibited in Islam and who does it is to be executed. We don't want hectics. Islam gives alot of power to the individual so a hectic can do alot of damage if wanted to. Not to mention the fight was against Byzantium only. Western Europe has nothing to do with it. Because Byzantium is a threat that never agreed to peace. Even the ottomans didn't want to go feather than they already did into Europe Byzantium areas after Constantinople threat was dealt with and sended the important religious stuff to the Pope of Cathlsoim and asked for peace the Pope replied with another Crusade and Holly League. Up until 17th century Egypt and Levant where still Christian majority population. The Muslims spread their government authority first not religion. Islam give non-muslims full autonomy and their own laws and courts as miny representative government in each region with their own areas and some where Christian lead cities. But people overtime in centuries naturally by their own free will choose to converted/revet to Islam. Islam protects belief and religion more than atheists and liberalism and philosophy does. Freedom of religion is just a mask to strip religion in name if freedom. Jews had 2 golden ages in Muslim world alongside tge Muslim one and migrateed to the Muslim world from Europe under European church organization and kings and lords threats ,as well public misbehavior and undermine of their rights and respect. We have and had human rights/responsibilities and ,animal rights and human responsibility to them: before the west did in many centuries. Even slavery prohibited amongst Muslims. A Muslim cannot make another Muslim a servant. By the way their laws on serventship and serventship is not like slavery. Slavery by English understanding is prohibited in Islam. Servant have rights protected by the state and it is contract. If those rights crossed the gov punishes. Servants and masters must eat on same table and wear on same level of cloths as well being respected. Iberia was an exception ,as well has a background. Then the skirmish attack on France was an example of it is own. Once abone time. It was a political move stemped from an imperial pov. As Abasised rising as well political termoal Ummayads loosing control they thought this will hlep because it is an eassy target and it was until it wasn't. Ok, first one maby ok - but what about the third? Forget that. What about the fourth and ones after. What about the culture it created? What about non-holy land Crusades? Why did they force convert and genocided some trabes and other crimes in Germany? What about the killing of Unitarian/Arianis Christians? The crusaders in first crusade killed even Christians and what about 4th crusade body? Does Hod allow genocide in Jerusalem in Christianity? Did the Muslims do that before the Christians and did the church organization condom that. The one commonder that did a similar thing was havely condomed and criticized by the historians of the time and other commanders in Muslim world. What about the racism and lieing Popes did to their population, about Islam Muslims and Mohammad propaganda? Saying somtimes they are atheists, and sometimes pagines and sometimes worship Mohammad or somtimes Saying they worship the moon or moon God ect.... The Pope and organization knows what they doing. How is Jesus is blond with blue eyes? The entire thing is a big fat lie. About the war first Caliphate had with Byzantium and Persia: that was nesseery and justified politically and economically as both sides showed no respect and enmity early own before Muslims do anything. Their was few disagreements and fighting skirmishs before. It was mainly because the Persian power havely disrespected the prophet and arabs also did injustices to arabs in their rule plus they supported the rebellion against Caliphate government in Arabia with their resources. Then geographically then had to at some point to attack Byzantium too to win, or they lose. Not to mention most of the locals fought with the Arab Muslims against their overloads including Christians against Byzantium. Also in Crusade many local Christians suded with Muslims against Europeans. Not to mention catholics are not in good term with Orthodox Christians. That map is the map on Rome. Iraq/Mesopotamia had very little Christians. Not to mention Christians civil war and half of the population made hectic. Arius Vs Athanasius anyone. What about Unitarianism and Ariusim ? What about the jews ? What about the pagines ? That area wasn't fully Christian. Also as I said Islam spread the government power and didn't force conversation. The area was majority non-muslim ruled by Muslims for centuries until Ottoman times where it got equal and then at thee endeding 2 centuries Muslims become the majority in Egypt and Levant for example.

During this time period, only the wealthy and upper social classes were taught the privilege of literacy; so history carries their perspective.
