Write a short note on crusades.

Answer 1

The Crusades were medieval religious wars launched in the late 11th century to recapture Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks. Over roughly two centuries (nine major expeditions, ending with Acre in 1291), they reshaped trade, culture, and Church authority, helping stimulate Europe’s revival toward the Renaissance.
