According to liberals the Crusades happened because Christians were jealous of the peaceful chill Muslims who discovered algebra and smoked marijuana. The Christians were jealous of how big the Muslims' penises were and wanted to compensate for this by spreading their Dark Age mentality of oppressing science, women, and racial minorities to the Muslim world. When in reality the First Crusade was a Catholic counterattack against Muslims for invading Jerusalem 400 years earlier.

LIterally nobody thinks that.
Not every crusade was in the middle east, and not christian atrocity needs to be a crusade
What about the the Northern Crusades?
Thanks
Every crusade is the same
>what about nothern crusades
Wends had it coming.
>those 400 years were peaceful
Muslims attacked Christians constantly, the Seljuks attacking Christian Byzantium (then promptly collapsing) proved to be the final straw.
Crusades one and three were GOAT, the fourth was just embarrassing. But it was an outlier.
>According to liberals
Fucking garbage
The first crusade was called in response to a plea for aid from the Byzantines, which occured in 1095, the Crusade begun that very same year.
I'm amazed that not one, but two retards 'thought' the same thing.
Meh, it's the same as 'according to /pol/ *something /pol/ doesn't actually believe*'
Just hide the thread and move on.
The crusades were just an attempt by the church to get european christians to stop constantly fighting one another by giving them a common enemy to unite against
The plea from byzantium was just convenient, and there was constant tension between the freeks and the crusaders
If it had really been about defending europe from muslims it would have happened in spain
Friendly reminder that the Byzantines had it coming
>People not knowing anything about history and explaining it in a way that conforms to their terrible political beliefs without a lick of nuance or reflection
Are you surprised?
