The Crusades were a series of religious wars between Christians and Muslims that took place between the 11th and 13th centuries. The primary purpose of the Crusades was to regain control of the Holy Land, specifically Jerusalem, from Muslim rule. The impact of the Crusades was far-reaching. They resulted in increased cultural and economic exchange between the East and the West, leading to the transmission of knowledge and ideas. However, they also brought about widespread violence, religious intolerance, and lasting animosity between Christians and Muslims that continues to shape global relations today.
