'''Crusades''' were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and sometimes directed by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The term refers especially to the Eastern Mediterranean campaigns in the period between 1095 and 1271 that had the objective of recovering the Holy Land from Islamic rule. The term has also been applied to other church-sanctioned campaigns fought to combat paganism and heresy, to resolve conflict among rival Roman Catholic groups, or to gain political and territorial advantage.

==Origins==
The origins of the Crusades in the High Middle Ages, when a number of Christian political entities existed in the eastern Mediterranean area, and when the area of Christian control was shrinking in face of Islamic expansion. The Crusades were seen as a response to Islam's initial conquests, as well as the Byzantine Empire's call for help.

==First Crusade==
The [[First Crusade]] (1095–1099) was the first of a number of crusades that attempted to recapture the Holy Land, called for by Pope Urban II at the Council of Clermont in 1095. It was followed by the unsuccessful [[Second Crusade]] to the Holy Land.

==Later Crusades==
The [[Third Crusade]] (1189–1192) was an attempt by European leaders to reconquer the Holy Land from Saladin. The [[Fourth Crusade]] (1202–1204) was initiated by Pope Innocent III to regain the Holy Land but was soon subverted by Venetians who used the forces to sack the Christian city of Zara.

==Impact==
The Crusades had a profound impact on Western civilization, with impacts that included the establishment of power of the Catholic Church, changes in attitudes towards the cultures of the East and the Muslim world, the development of feudalism, and the development of a sense of European identity.
