Tell me about a successful Crusade that didn’t end in disaster.
You’re in my bailiwick, now, Dope, so don’t expect to get away with horseshit or right wing fantasies of “Tales from the Crusades”.
1. History is what history is. The largest failure of liberals on this board is failing to comprehend that Facts are Facts regardless of where they come from.
2. The First Crusade - in reaction to Islamic conquest of the Holy Lands and the plea for help from the Byzantines (the Eastern part of the Roman Empire) - resulted in the recapture of Jerusalem.
One can debate the word "successful", but the First Crusade's stated goal was to recapture Jerusalem, and it did, holding on to it for ~90 years.
