Question

Select the three statements that are true of the Crusades: They created a demand for Eastern goods. They failed to rescue the Holy Land permanently from the Muslims. They brought about greater fighting among the landowners in Europe. They brought about the breakdown of the medieval way of life.

Answer 1

The correct answer would be "They created a demand for Eastern goods." Think about it, after the Crusades, goods  Eastern powers contained were high in demand. Specifically things like silk. spices, and tea. This also increased exploration because the the Ottoman Turks halted the commerce between Europe and the East. The reason why the voyage of Christopher Columbus was funded in the first place was so that a trade route around the Turks could be found. As we all know, he found something even better.
