“...the truth about the Crusades and why we should view the Crusaders as heroes.”

Crusades II are having birthing pains right now in Tennessee, this one will retake America as the original Crusades took back the souls and property of Christianity plundered by muslim jihad long ago

The Crusades began just as the European Warm Period toked up. There's a close relationship between having enough to eat and mounting an army (back in the old days).

BTW, the Crusades were not sent out with the intention of retaking formerly Christian lands such as modern Syria, Iraq, Turkey, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Algeria, etc.

That task was left for WWI. The Brits botched the job.
