The series of Crusades was launched against Muslims by Pope Urban II in 1095 AD with the ultimate goal of liberating the holy city of Jerusalem from Muslim rule. This goal was successfully achieved in 1099 AD through the First Crusade. As an additional reward, the European Crusaders also succeeded in establishing kingdoms and administrative districts including the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the Little Kingdom of Antioch, the District of Tripoli and the District of Edessa. The response and resistance of the Muslim army under the auspices of the Saljuk Sultanate, however, began to undermine the rule of the Crusader kingdom. Beginning with the fall of Edessa in 1144 AD to the Muslim army led by Imaduddin Zanki, little by little the power of the Crusaders began to be contested. The culmination of the fall of the European Crusader kingdom was the recapture of the holy city of Jerusalem by Salahuddin Al-Ayubi in 1187 AD. The remnants of the Crusaders' dominance in the Islamic West Asian Region ended in 1291 AD when the city of Acre was recaptured by the Muslim Mamluk army led by Al-Ashraf Khalil. After the First Crusade, six more Crusades were launched by the Popes of the Roman Catholic Church with the original purpose of defending the Kingdom of the Cross and reclaiming the holy city of Jerusalem. However, all six series strayed from the original purpose, even illustrating that the Crusades that were launched were not aimed at religion but rather at the political goal of colonizing Muslim territory in the name of the Roman Catholic Church. The sentiments of the Crusades later became the basis for the European colonists' exploration of the New World. The theme "for God, wealth and glory is a reality built from the experience of the Crusade series. This is the conclusion brought by the discussion in this book. Starting with the discussion related to the basic concept of the Crusade, important historical facts up to the conclusion that links the current conflict with the sentiment of the crusade. Although this book is written based on the perspective of Islamic historians, many primary sources from Western Christian and Arab writers are included to describe the actual events that took place.
