The Crusades:
The crusades are military invasions to convert and regain land that is not of the catholic religion. the crusades were fought over 1096AD- 1272AD. Although many years, may battles, and many kings pasted through the years, the intention stayed the same... Make the Holy Land catholic once again. But the crusades had a secondary goal as well. The church used the crusades to show the amount of power it had over the people.
