The Crusades

The crusades were one of the most important things that has ever happened. This was one of the largest, if not the largest, wars during the dark ages. The king gave a rallying speech to the Franks, and said that anyone who fought would go to heaven. Guess how many people fought. A lot of christian soldiers went to the holy land to reclaim "their" land from the muslims. this single act was HUGE in the developing of the world.
