I learned that the Crusades was a religious war fought for many years. I didn't know that there were 9 crusades. I also thought it was interesting that the Knights Templar protectec Chistendom. Although there were 9 Crusades I learned that the first one was the most successful because they drove the Turks out and caputured Jeruesalem. Another thing I didn't know about the Crusades is they wore the red cross symbol on armor and other clothing. I didn't know there was also a childrens crusade. It was started when a young boy tried to convert muslims to christianity. I was surprised to find out that the crusades actually was economically good by making the bank stronger.
