He placed himself as head of the church as a result, while many people defied and spoke out about the unfairness and betrayal of the Catholic faith.

The First Crusade was a very dark and scary time in history, the first of many crusades to finally catch the “Holy Lands” that were called upon by Pope Urban II. The crusades were fought against many different religions including the Franks, the Byzantine Empire, the Seljuk Turks, and the RCC crusaders to name only a few. This crusade was fought for many reasons including religion, political power, political defense, and political greed. These four factors played a huge part in the crusades, however the factor that started the crusades and motivated many, not all, but many to fight in the crusades was religion. Many different religions were present at the time and all of them wanted to conquer the “Holy Land” of Jerusalem, throughout battles,

Lazayvion Hammick Sheila Wilkinson World History College-Prep 4 December 2015 “Power of the Catholics” The Catholic Church has a significant impact during the Medieval Times, also know as the Middle Ages. The Church has a lasting impact that still affects people today. Key Area include the governments, society, and the economy.
Pope Urban II’s speech at Clermont in 1095 was a call to crusade given outdoors to the nobles, commoners and church leaders of the Western European Christians (the Franks). The people were moved by this speech and it changed history, launching the first crusade to capture Jerusalem from the Muslim Turks. After hearing Pope Urban II’s speech, thousands of Western European Christians were moved to embark on the dangerous journey and fight in the crusade. I believe the main reasons they were moved and persuaded to fight was; 1) they felt it was their Christian duty, 2) Pope Urban promised them absolution for their sins and 3) they felt compelled to defend Christianity, their holy land and the Eastern Christians.
Saint Benedict was an important part of The Middle Ages because of The Rules of St. Benedict, founder of Western Monasticism, and most of the order in the churches link back to St. Benedict. The first reason St. Benedict was important in The Middle Ages is because he had a set of rules the monks had to follow living under the authority of the abbot called the Rule of Benedict. The Rule of Benedict had a total of Seventy-three short chapters explaining the monk's rules. These set of rules were followed by Benedictines for fifteen centuries.
In this manner, the Europeans formed the Crusaders against the Turks and Muslims to retake the places known as holly and spread Christianity and European culture all over the world because “the twin legacies of early medieval missionary activity before the year 1000 and of monastic reform in the eleventh and twelfth centuries provided the conditions for translating ideology into practice.” In this manner, the religious missions focused on influencing on other peoples’ faith to convert them into Christianity. Other controversial thing was about the understating of the diversity, and this understanding did not happen as it was supposed to be because an understanding of the diversity would help states to live longer. And understanding of the diversity of the multiculturalism is to respect to other ethnic and religious groups, so the idea of Europe was against this concept, too. Another controversial thing was the Islamic belief of Jihad.
The crusades are the medieval military expeditions that pope Urban || issued to the European to stop fighting against each other and reclaim Jerusalem or the 'holy land" from the Muslims. Jerusalem was important as the saviour Jesus Christ was born there. The crusade started in the late 1000s to the 1500s. Pope Urban || convinced people to join the crusade with the promises of having their sins forgiven. Others joined for hopes of power, territory and riches.
The crusades happened because of many reasons. First the Turks took over the holy lands. Then the Byzantine Emperor wanted to regain the holy land, so he called for the church 's help. Pope Urban II didn 't want to look weak, so he arranged for the first crusade. That is the cause of the crusades.
The crusade was an attempt to regain papal authority and expand Christianity. The religion was preached on a daily basis and consumed everyday life; however, Urban II recognized that Antipope Clement III was destroying the image of Christianity and he would have to save it. The Europeans have been on the defensive side for centuries, constantly needing to stand their ground, but it was time to take charge. The Crusade was a step closer to making their civilization universal, expanding their territory, and eventually allow for the growth of their religion. This was how Christian warfare and protection of the Church started.
Before the Reformation officially began in 1517, the Catholic Church were not always peaceful or united, it was frequently criticized for its pride (both spiritually and worldly), extravagance and political ambitions. Many reformers tried to reform the ways of the church, but were mostly unsuccessful. The church was called many times to reform, and were challenged by the new ideas and philosophies descending from the Renaissance. These new areas of learning did not change the Reformation, but it helped create a climate of uncertainty and questioning, which encouraged critics of the church, to challenge some of its ideas. Many people also criticised the corruption of the Catholic Church, though they still accepted the church 's religious teachings.
The sovereign state in Russia developed under the influence of Ivan the Great (III) and Ivan the Terrible (IV), who are known as the two key figures in the process of centralization. When Ivan III began/started his reign Moscow had become the political and religious centre of Russia (Dukes, 1998, p.42). One of the major contributions in the centralization process were made by Ivan the Great since he took part in the ingathering process of Russian lands and thus, expanded and centralize the Muscovite state and consequently ended the period of Appanage Rus (Ziegler, 1999). He conquered new territories and distributed these to loyal army officers which in return had to support him in military campaigns; accordingly with this. In 1480 Ivan ended foreign conquests of Russia by raising the military apparatus and defeating the Mongols.
