Triggers of the Crusades and Muslim Response to the Conflict
The trigger event for the Crusades was the Muslim leader of Jerusalem stopping Christian pilgrims from reaching the city, which led the Christians to push back against Muslim conquest attempts. In the West, the Crusades were perceived as a significant conflict, while the Muslims saw them as a minor irritation.
