The First #Crusade is an iconic event in the #history of #Europe and the Middle East. In the 11th century #medieval kingdoms faced the active expansion of the new religion - Islam. War, later called the #holywar of faith between #Christians and #Muslims , was inevitable. And although at that time the battles for the #Iberian Peninsula were actively fought, the full-scale confrontation began when Pope Urban II announced the First Crusade with the order to liberate #Jerusalem .
On their way to the holy city, the knights who led the Christian armies won many significant victories and even founded their own states. These Christian kingdoms will become the main resistance points in the struggle against Muslims for the next few centuries. In this video, we follow the route of the Crusaders from the shores of Western Europe and past Constantinople to the Middle East, experience the famous siege of Antioch with them and recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims, as the Pope declared. --Key Topics Covered:-- - What was the First Crusade? - Major battles and events of the First Crusade - Role of religious motivations and politics - Outcomes and historical significance CHAPTERS: 00:00 - INTRO 00:32 - First Crusade 02:15 - Historic Background of 1st Crusade 06:20 - Pope #AlexenderII Affidavit 07:07 - Amsalem's crusade theory 07:27 - Battle of #Malazigirit 09:20 - #Pope #UrbanII speech at Clermont 10:00 - Gathering of Crusaders and March 11:00 - In Constantinople 12:28 - Division of #Seljukes 13:56 - #Constantinople to Asia minor 14:18 - Siege of Nicaea 16:00 - Battle of Dorylaeum 17:50 - The Armenian Interlude 19:54 - First #Crousader State 23:58 - Siege of #Antioch 31:12 - From Antioch to Jerusalem 36:11 - #Siege Of Jerusalem 42:28 - #Kingdom of #Jerusalem 44:05 - Battle of #Escalon 45:03 - The Crusaders' Return Home
