The Crusades: The First Religious Wars

At NSSC, Northfield Location: 

Jim Kenney, Executive Director, Common Ground

The Crusades (1095-1291) have been hailed as the climax of Western European achievement or condemned as the first thrust of European imperialism into the Muslim Near East. But these many wars forever altered the three medieval civilizations: Latin Christendom, Islam, and the East Roman or Byzantine Empire. The Crusades were a primary force for profound changes in political, cultural, religious, economic, and social life that gave birth to the early modern age. And these changes still influence our world today.
