The crusades are fight between Christian, Jews and Muslim over Jerusalem which was a holy land for all three religion. to Christians, the Jerusalem was where Jesus lived and was buried in the Church of Holy Sepulchre and to Jews, the Wailing wall is the last remaining part of King Herod's temple. also the Dome of Rock Mosque was built where Muslims believe that the Prophet Mohammed rose up and visited heaven.
In 638, Jerusalem was ruled by an Egyptian Muslim leader who allowed Jews and Christians to worship their gods which he thought would make people to respect Islam. other leaders were also okay with people believing in other gods and visiting their shrines until in 1079, when another Muslims from Turkey became leaders of the Jerusalem. They didn't allow any people from other religion and began to attack the Jews and Christians which made the Pope very annoyed. He announced the crusades, to get back the Roman territory and make sure his people was free to visit the holy land. later in the crusades, anyone including knights and peasants were allowed to join the crusade without getting the Pope's permission.
