First Crusade
In 1095, Pope Urban II called for a crusade to recapture Jerusalem from Muslim control; the First Crusade resulted in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099 and the establishment of Latin Christian states in the Levant.
Outcome
The Crusades intensified conflict between Christianity and Islam, established Latin kingdoms in the East, and deepened the schism between the Latin and Greek churches.
