Outcome
negative:
As a whole:
Positive: Some of the Holy Land was regained. The city of Constantinople/capital of the Byzantine empire was captured and lay in
the hands of the Christians. Trade increased between the middle east and Europe.
Negative: Land was lost to the Muslims. Tensions rose between nationalities, lots of people died. The Muslims gained land. The
weaknesses of the rifts formed that lasted for centuries. Alliances and conflicts began which would carry on until the first World War.
With the capture of Constantinople, the fall of the Byzantine Empire began. The Christians failed in their original purpose of bringing
the Holy Land under Christian control.
Argument: Crusaders were motivated by their search for adventure. Third Crusade. Location: Acre
