3 RD THRU 8 TH CRUSADES The Holy Land changed hands several times, but Muslims were victorious. Lots of bloodshed Diseases spread Modern inventions are born! (article on What the Renaissance gave)

MORE POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE? Historians have viewed the Crusades as a mixture of benefits and horrors. On one hand, there was a new knowledge of the East and the possibilities of trade to be found there, not to mention the spread of Christianity. On the other hand, Christianity was spread in a violent, militaristic manner, and the result was that new areas of possible trade turned into new areas of conquest and bloodshed. A number of non-Christians lost their lives to Christian armies in this era, and this trend would continue in the inquisitions of the coming centuries.
