Answer:

Their journeys created a sense of wonder and exploration.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Christian Crusaders indirectly discovered America because their journeys created a sense of wonder and exploration. After new markets had been created by the Crusades, new wealth poured into Europe, especially in Italian cities. This new found wealth helped develop industry in places like Flanders.
