What was the Crusades and how can you connect to what the crusaders did? In summary form help me please !

In the medieval era, the Crusades were a series of religious wars launched, funded, and often driven by the Latin Church. The phrase applies in particular to the Eastern Mediterranean campaigns aimed at the recovery of the Holy Land from Islamic rule in the period between 1096 and 1271.

Crusades were military expeditions organized by western Christians in response to Muslim wars of expansion. Their objectives were to check the spread of Islam, retake control of the Holy Land and conquer pagan areas. Crusading declined in the 16th century with the advent of the Protestant Reformation and the decline of papal authority.

Explanation:

We can connect what the crusades did by how there is war happening in our society like how it is battling between two religious groups. I would just compare right now about two groups of people having issues like how christians and muslims were back then.

Hope this helps!
