The Crusades - Pilgrimage or Holy War?: Crash Course World History #15
Economy | Information | History | Online | Facts | World | Global | Money
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.

A lot of "Deus Vult" in the comments section, meaning a lot of morons who didn't pay attention to the video and to history. And morons who believe in God as well.

The Fourth Crusade was a prank

Those evil Christians, enduring five centuries of Muslim invasions but being unwilling to endure a sixth! If those evil Christians would have just stopped oppressing the innocent Muslims by dying, the world would be sooooooo much better! Just imagine it! We could be living in a world free from freedom!

Simplistic douchebag offering no evidence for his opinions and substituting his own bias for other people's reasoning...
-
Wow, heretics, I personally want a Crusade into the Eye and get rid of those daemon(moSLUM) scum for the EMPEROR!!!
Also Deus Vult. -

John Green should be forced to live as a jizyhia paying dimmih in the ottoman empire, or any other Islamic State prior since the founding of this viscous and hateful religion. So that he can be a better judge of "Muslims living in 'peace' with Christians". I believe he said something to this effect- "..as long as they agreed to live by the Muslims laws". The way that President Obama and liberals in Europe have been taking Islam, we may all find out, once again, what it is like to live life under Shariah law.
Thank for more covering up and glossing over the brutality of Islamic supremacist imperialism John. Oh... I mean professor John. Right? -
I thought the Muslims crushed two thirds of the Christian world over three or four hundred years. I 'thought' the crusades were defensive from extinction. ...

There was A LOT of work put into downplaying the Islamic aggression here haha

DEUS VULT INFIDEL

What will you take? -
"But then a new group of Muslims, the Seljuk Turks moved into the region"
"an Anti-colonialist view that requires a marxist reading of History"
COMMIES AND KEBAB IN THE SAME VIDEO! -
Disliked for "C.E" and not "A.D"
-
WE WILL TAKE JERUSALEM AVE MARIA DEUS VULT
-
So they weren't about "anti-Islam" but they were about "anti-radical Islam" (i.e. the brand of Islam practiced by the Seljuk Turks that took control of the region from the peaceful Muslims)? Does History repeat itself intentionally?
-
A Millennial's explanation of the Crusades.
Just sanitized history to support their worldview, not history.
