Europeans were introduced to new luxuries through trade as a result of the Crusades Other countries submitted offerings on behalf of the church. The Crusades crumbled Europe's economy for years.

Answer 1

Your answer would be D., as the Crusades were the wars against Christians vs. Muslims, and a lot of money went down the drain from spending it on food, medicine, and weapons for the soldiers, PLUS there was a lot in debt from the aftermath of the wars. Since they owed so much money, the result of the Crusades unfortunately ended up crumbling Europe's economy =(
I hope I helped though ^-^

Answer 2

Europeans were introduced to new luxuries through trade as a result of the Crusades

Step-by-step explanation:

The Crusades were a series of military campaigns promoted by the Pope and carried out by much of Christian Latin Europe, mainly by the France of the Capetos and the Holy Roman Empire. The Crusades, with the initial specific objective of restoring Roman apostolic control over the Holy Land, were fought for almost two hundred years, between 1096 and 1291.

The economic consequences in Europe were that the cities and the bourgeoisie benefited from the profits provided by the provisioning, transport of armies and increased traffic with the East. New crops, luxuries, and manufacturing procedures taken from Muslim peoples were introduced in the West, like silk from the Silk Road, Arab soups and perfumes, Eastern technology, and Indian spices, among many others. Trade, especially maritime, gained greater momentum. The ports of Genoa, Venice, Amalfi, Marseille, and Barcelona were the most favored.
