How did the Crusades influence Europe?

One thing that the crusades influenced ancient Europe was religion,they were a variety of religions such as : catholic, Muslims and Christians. The people of medieval times thought it was a sin to kill Christians, which relates to how death influenced them. Also the Europeans vowed to do anything to protect the crusader states. So they were very focused on the battles of the crusades.
 The Muslim leader started to persecute Christians, a series of 3 wars broke out.I wouldn’t want to be there when that happened. Then a clash between Christians and Muslims began.So in conclusion to the question the crusades influence Europe in death,war and religion. The Arabs also had an impact on ancient Europe because they also controlled Jerusalem and were very tolerant of the Christians as Muslims were not. The holy land was refered to as palestine. this is the land that everyone wanted control of.
