Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

Was the first crusade successful?

Well, it all depends on which side we are talking about. If we are talking about the crusader's side, it was a success. Then, obviously, it was not for the Muslim side.

The first crusade was fought from 1096 to 1099. On July 14, 1099, after three years of intense combats, teh Crusaders finally captured the important city of Jerusalem, defeating the Muslim troops. After some research, some historians say that the Muslim army was not in the best shape because the Turks were already weak from fighting themselves.
