Question

Looking at the information from the maps does it look like the crusades were the piligrimage (a journey to a holy or sacred place) or a holy war (a war fought by believers of a religion to spread or defend their religion)? Write a paragraph stating your opinion, your reasons, and facts from the maps them.

Answer 1

The Crusades were a combination of pilgrimage and holy war, with Christian knights and aristocrats traveling to the Holy Lands to reclaim them from Muslim control.

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information from the maps and texts provided, it can be inferred that the Crusades were a combination of pilgrimage and holy war. Initially, the Crusades were called by the popes to reclaim the Holy Lands from Muslim control, which can be seen as a form of holy war. However, the Crusades also had elements of pilgrimage, as Christian knights and aristocrats traveled to the Holy Lands to see and touch the physical land where Jesus walked.

Answer 2

Well there isn't a map, but I can answer to the best of my ability. The Crusades were in fact a holy war. As knights were used quite frequently in the process of spreading early Christianity to the rest of Europe. Also, just a little fun fact. Deus Vult means "God wills." In fact, the Crusade was one of (if not the largest) holy war in the world.
