The Purpose of the Crusades
Contrary to popular belief, the Crusades were not launched to convert Muslims to Christianity. Rather, the Crusades aimed to reclaim Christian lands that had been conquered by Muslims, leading to the closure of Christian pilgrimage sites. The decision to launch the Crusades stemmed from a desire to rescue these holy places, rather than an intent to convert Muslim territories. Despite controversial views, historical facts reveal the primary goal of the Crusades.
