Answer 2

In AD 1095, pope Urban II called the Roman Catholic Church to wage war against Muslims over the possession of Jerusalem

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the only statement that reflects the reality of what the Crusades were. The Crusades were motivated by the Catholic Church. Their desire was to reclaim the land of Jerusalem. This area was controlled by Muslims, which the Church disapproved of because of the holy status of the area for the Catholic Church. The Crusades caused great destruction and suffering. However, it also led to cultural exchange between the two regions of the world.
