-	The '''First Crusade''' was launched in 1095 by [[Pope Urban II]] with the dual goals of reconquering the sacred city of [[Jerusalem]] and the [[Holy Land]] and freeing the [[Eastern Christians]] from [[Islam]]ic rule. What started as an appeal by [[Byzantine Emperor]] [[Alexius I Comnenus]] for western mercenaries to fight the [[Seljuk Turks]] in [[Anatolia]] quickly turned into a wholescale Western [[Mass migrations|migration]] and conquest of territory outside of [[Europe]]. Both [[knight]]s and peasants from many nations of [[Western Europe]] travelled over land and by sea towards [[Jerusalem]] and captured the city in July 1099, establishing the [[Kingdom of Jerusalem]] and other [[Crusader states]]. Although these gains lasted for less than two hundred years, the First Crusade was part of the Christian response to the [[Islamic conquests]], as well as the first major step towards reopening international trade in the West since the fall of the [[Western Roman Empire]].	+
