Question

Select the three statements that are true of the Crusades: They created a demand for Eastern goods. They failed to rescue the Holy Land permanently from the Muslims. They brought about greater fighting among the landowners in Europe. They brought about the breakdown of the medieval way of life.

Answer 1

The Crusades created a demand for Eastern goods, failed to permanently rescue the Holy Land from the Muslims, and brought about the breakdown of the medieval way of life.

Step-by-step explanation:

The three statements that are true of the Crusades are:

1. They created a demand for Eastern goods. When the Catholic Crusaders returned from the Middle East, they brought back tales of new lands and peoples as well as goods such as silk and sugar.
2. They failed to rescue the Holy Land permanently from the Muslims. The Crusades involved two centuries of fighting between Christians and Muslims, resulting in the establishment of a bitter hatred between the two religions.
3. They brought about the breakdown of the medieval way of life. The Crusades stimulated trade, the growth of Italian city-states, and contact with different cultures, which led to changes in political and economic structures.

Answer 2

The correct answer would be "They created a demand for Eastern goods." Think about it, after the Crusades, goods  Eastern powers contained were high in demand. Specifically things like silk. spices, and tea. This also increased exploration because the the Ottoman Turks halted the commerce between Europe and the East. The reason why the voyage of Christopher Columbus was funded in the first place was so that a trade route around the Turks could be found. As we all know, he found something even better.
