Doc 1
The Crusades failed in their chief goal: the conquest of the Holy Land. They also left a bitter
legacy of religious hatred behind them. In the Middle East, both Christians and Muslims
committed appalling atrocities in the name of religion. In Europe, crusaders sometimes
turned their fury against Jews, massacring entire communities.
1. Why does the author of this document call the legacy of the crusades a bitter one?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
Document 2
Merchants in Venice and other northern Italian cities built large fleets to carry crusaders to
the Holy Land. They later used those fleets to open new markets in the crusaders' states.
Even after the Muslims had recaptured the city of Acre, Italian merchants kept these trade
routes open. Our words sugar, cotton, rice, and muslin, which were borrowed form Arabic,
show the range of trade goods involved.
2. What was the economic impact of the Crusades?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
Document 3
Europe was prepared for overseas expansion not only by Marco Polo, but also by the
Crusades. We usually think of the Crusades as a great religious movement in which gallant
knights of Christendom tried to win back the Holy Land from the Muslims. Some were
interested only in fighting for Christianity, but others were looking for adventure, for
estates, or for commercial opportunities. This led to results very different from those
expected by their organizers.
3. What were some of the reasons the Crusades attracted people that differed from the ones
anticipated by its organizers?
______________________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________________
Doc 4
Thus in April 1204, the crusaders and Venetians stormed Constantinople, sacked the city,
destroying its magnificent library, and grabbed thousands of relics that were later sold in
Europe. From destruction, the Byzantine Empire as a political unit never recovered.
Moreover, the assault of one Christian people on another, when one of the goals of the
Fourth Crusade was reunion of Greek and Latin churches, made the split between the Greek
and Latin churches permanent. It also helped discredit the entire crusading movement.
4. What was the negative impact that the 4th Crusade had on the Christian world? Explain.
