The+Crusades.

__The Crusades. __ ﻿"The Crusades was an ugly war fought by the Islamic people in the Middle East and The European Christians."(Rice pp.56-57) The Crusades was fought because the Christians felt that they should kill the Muslims to expose them to Christianity and because God said it was what they were suppose to do.It was also a battle for the Dome of the Rock and Jerusalem. This was important to both religions because because for Christians they believed Abraham made the ten commandments there and Jesus was brought back to Heaven there. Both religions believe Abraham sacrificed his on there. Events that led up to this was for the first one when the two religions were living in the same town(Jerusalem). 

The Christians thought that was a problem and decided to retaliate. The Christians won the first. The Muslims wanted to get revenge an won the second one. The last one was a draw. The effects of this is the Battle of the Dome of the Rock is still going on today. The Crusades went through Western Europe and Eastern Asia(Middle East). The Crusades has much signifigance because it is important in European history and its effects are still happening today. The reason it is important in history is because the Crusades is a war based on a war that is happening still today between the Jewish people and the Islamic people. Mainly because to all three religions(including Christianity) this war is based on their belief of God and the Dome of the Rock.
