Video Description (from Youtube)

In which John Green teaches you about the Crusades embarked upon by European Christians in the 12th and 13th centuries. Our traditional perception of the Crusades as European Colonization thinly

veiled in religion isn't quite right. John covers the First through the Fourth Crusades, telling you which were successful, which were well-intentioned yet ultimately destructive, and which were just plain crazy. Before you ask, no, he doesn't cover the Children's Crusade, in which children were provoked to gather for a Crusade, and then promptly sold into slavery by the organizers of said Crusade. While this story is charming, it turns out to be complete and utter hooey.

What is Crusades?
The Crusades were a series of religious wars sanctioned by the Latin Church in the medieval period. The wars were largely in response to 400 years of Muslim wars of conquest in Christian lands. The most commonly known Crusades were the campaigns in

the Eastern Mediterranean aimed at recovering the Holy Land from Muslim rule. Crusades were fought for a variety of reasons including the suppression of paganism and heresy, the resolution of conflict among rival Roman Catholic groups, or for political and territorial advantage.
