Question 8 • Social Studies 8 - LIU Summer

How did crusaders change the Holy Land after the First Crusade?

Answer
A
They established four Christian settlements next to Muslim lands.
B
They created armies to protect settlements from invasion.
C
They made the region a safer place for Jewish people.
D
They welcomed people of all faiths to make pilgrimages to Jerusalem.

Explanation

After the First Crusade, crusaders established four Christian states in the Holy Land and nearby areas: the Kingdom of Jerusalem, the County of Edessa, the Principality of Antioch, and the County of Tripoli. These states bordered Muslim territories, so A is correct. They did not make the region broadly safe for Jewish people or welcome all faiths equally to Jerusalem.
