The First #Crusade is an iconic event in the #history of #Europe and the Middle East. In the 11th century #medieval kingdoms faced the active expansion of the new religion - Islam. War, later called the #holywar of faith between #Christians and #Muslims , was inevitable. And although at that time the battles for the #Iberian Peninsula were actively fought, the full-scale confrontation began when Pope Urban II announced the First Crusade with the order to liberate #Jerusalem . <br /><br />On their way to the holy city, the knights who led the Christian armies won many significant victories and even founded their own states. These Christian kingdoms will become the main resistance points in the struggle against Muslims for the next few centuries. In this video, we follow the route of the Crusaders from the shores of Western Europe and past Constantinople to the Middle East, experience the famous siege of Antioch with them and recapture Jerusalem from the Muslims, as the Pope declared. <br />--Key Topics Covered:-- <br />- What was the First Crusade? <br />- Major battles and events of the First Crusade <br />- Role of religious motivations and politics <br />- Outcomes and historical significance <br />CHAPTERS: <br />00:00 - INTRO <br />00:32 - First Crusade <br />02:15 - Historic Background of 1st Crusade <br />06:20 - Pope #AlexenderII Affidavit <br />07:07 - Amsalem's crusade theory <br />07:27 - Battle of #Malazigirit <br />09:20 - #Pope #UrbanII speech at Clermont <br />10:00 - Gathering of Crusaders and March <br />11:00 - In Constantinople <br />12:28 - Division of #Seljukes <br />13:56 - #Constantinople to Asia minor <br />14:18 - Siege of Nicaea <br />16:00 - Battle of Dorylaeum <br />17:50 - The Armenian Interlude <br />19:54 - First #Crousader State <br />23:58 - Siege of #Antioch <br />31:12 - From Antioch to Jerusalem <br />36:11 - #Siege Of Jerusalem <br />42:28 - #Kingdom of #Jerusalem <br />44:05 - Battle of #Escalon <br />45:03 - The Crusaders' Return Home
