Pope Urban ll made the decision to launch the first crusade in 1095. He achieved this by giving a public speech in which he accused the Muslims of many atrocities against the Christians who were living in Jerusalem. One reason, why the Pope decided to launch the first crusade was that, the Byzanthine Emperor has written him a letter asking him for help against the Muslims. The Pope may have made this decision too in order to increase his papacy influence.

According to the CIA world Fact book, out of the 40 poorest countries in the world in 2010, 84% of them were former colonies of European Empires.
These included world powers such as Britain, France, Spain, Netherlands etc.
The colonial powers used a vast network of shipping and logistics to exploit local resources which made European countries extremely rich.
Countries such as Spain imported Gold, Potatoes, Peppers from South America and sold them all over the world, while the British Empire used India's immense human capital for farming and cheap manufacturing.
