ITT: We post things that trigger Deus Vultards

Reminder that the Crusaders were all failures that only succeeded when they caught a few feuding turkish factions off guard, but when the saracens united, the crusaders got their shit pushed in

Agreed, honestly reading about how poorly planned and performed the first crusade was it is a minor miracle they were able to achieve so much. Also I think it is somewhat impressive how long some of these states lasted in completely hostile territory.

Crusades were shit & pointless; they caused more harm than good for the Christians in the areas they touched and ended up only enabling kebab.

Enough said.

Sounds like a succes desu

Also Venetians dindunuffin dey a good boi

Despite being surrounded and facing overwhelming odds they accomplished their objectives and maintained a presence in the eastern Mediterranean until the Mongols changed the world again. They halted the expansion of the enormous Seljuk Empire and contributed to its breakdown, it wouldn't be until the Ottomans that the Turks would resume their progress.

The modern humanist is shocked by the superstition and brutality, modern liberals are triggered by the idea of Christians attacking Muslims, however it is a fact that this level of brutality was the same across the world and Muslims had no issue attacking Christians either. Singling the crusaders out as exceptionally evil is misguided. Had the crusades never happened muslim warlords would have taxed their peasants into the ground and warred with each other much the same.

The crusades were motivated by people willing to risk their lives for their faith, Kings and commoners alike. Were they interested solely in loot and land they would have been better off targeting somewhere a little less vulnerable and closer to home, they are an outlier in a world where most wars are motivated by realpolitik. What could they have accomplished if their motives were more rational?

Then how do you explain types like Bohemund?

Muslims were horrified at how savage the crusaders were. Crusaders started to EAT Muslims ffs.

No sane individual would think thay they were evil, that's just how the world worked back then.

They really weren't the brightest candles on the cake and most of the retarded and degenerated lowlives think of hem as the holy squad of god who punished the bad nonbelievers/wrongbelievers.
They do that while bashing on every other religion without actually trying to see the whole picture instead of trying to look for informations which are validating their opinions and labelling everything else as bullshit.And they fail to realize that they're behaving just like the idiots and hardliners on the other side of the fence.
Such flawed logic is the reason why most people who actually think like humans (or think at all) are associating them with the present idiots we're stuck with, because most people who are ignoring every bad aspect of something and idolizing every good part of it tend to be idiots.
