Answer:
Depends on crusade

Step-by-step explanation:

In the most prominent crusades, the goal was mainly to stop Islam from continuing its spread and to reconquer areas from Muslims in order to have them ruled by Christians (such as the Holy Land and Spain/Portugal). In other crusades, the goals could just be to conquer pagans, convert heretics, or crush religious dissenters.
