The Crusades were 5 holy wars that wanted to recover land from the Middle East. They were very religious wars. This ad is recruiting people to fight in these bloody and violent wars.
Cause: The Crusades were an attempt by the Catholic church to re-gain control, authority and power over provinces in the Middle-East. Pilgrims were denied the right to visit the holy lands by the Muslims and the Kingdom of Christendom wanted to free Eastern Christians from islamic rule. Jerusalem was the usual target. It was of historical, spiritual and religious importance to Christian nations and so it had to be seized. Everyone in the Middle Ages was devoted to the Lord and committed themselves to following the teachings of the bible. The Church promised everyone who was involved a remission of their sins and protection of land.
Effect: Each crusade had its individual effects depending on the circumstances. In general, the Crusades allowed Arabian medical practices and architectural knowledge to be transferred to the West. Conquered towns helped to provide extra income for the treasury from furs, ivory and spices. It was uplift to Christians worldwide, knowing their sacred place of worship was securely in the hands of fellow believers.
