100 years ago Indians were taught how to grow corn by the pilgrems. They were running out of buffalo.
Byzantines did play a role in the first crusade as they allowed the crusaders to pass through their territory, but provided no support.
The First Crusade (1096–1099) was the first in a line of crusades, or religious warfare, that the Latin Church of the Middle Ages started, encouraged, and occasionally oversaw. The Holy Land's liberation from Islamic dominion was the goal. Jerusalem had been governed by Muslims for hundreds of years, but by the 11th century, the Seljuk invasion of the area threatened the Byzantine Empire as well as the local Christian communities and Western pilgrimages. The Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos requested military assistance from the Council of Piacenza in 1095 so that his kingdom might fight the Seljuk-led Turks. This was the first crusade initiative.

Answer:
The (non-existing) communist threat.
Explanation:
The. Berlin Blockade (1948-1949) can be seen, in retrospect, as the start of the Cold War. The Sovjets blocked the Western sectors of Berlin as a protest to the introduction of the Deutsche Mark in Berlin. This event troubled the already tense relationship between the two world powers.
Now it must be said that from the beginning the wide-spread belief that the U.S.S.R and it´s communist comrades (Cuba) was going to complete what Hitler couldn´t manage, i.e. conquer the whole world, was, in retrospect, an absurd idea from the American side.
This by paranoia fueled belief - see for more information Eric Hobsbawm in <em>The Age of Extremes </em>- was shown clearly in the Truman Doctrine, the failed invasion in Cuba and the Cuban Missile Crisis, not to mention the Vietnam War in which several American presidents <em>¨tapped their way through a dense cloud of incomprehension, confusion and paranoia.¨ </em>Eric Hobsbawm
