The Crusades were called because of religious devotion but the call was answered because to the desire for political and economic gain.
A call went out for soldiers to take Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks.
Many second and third sons answered the call. In the Holy Land they could carve out principalities and become Lords. In Western Europe the land was all taken. The call was answer by most Crusaders for dreams of political and economic gain.
The Eastern Roman Empire had appealed for help became of the amount of land and control that they had lost to the Seljuk Turks.
The agreement with the Pope was that the Crusaders would liberate not only Jerusalem but the lands lost to the control of the Turks.
When the Crusaders liberated the land they kept the land for themselves. This showed that the reasons that the Crusaders answered the call was not religious devotion but economic greed.

During 1830's American leaders were afraid that Hawaii would fall in hands of a European power when Britain and France both forced Hawaii to accept treaties. Alarmed by this american leaders signed Treaty of Friendship with Hawaii in 1849. Soon Hawaii became a provisioning spot for American whaling ships and sugar plantation. The Hawaiian economy became more integrated when the two signed 1875 trade exchange treaty and the white Americans began to dominate Hawaiin economy and politics. But when the Us government introduced McKinley Tariff, it raised the import rates on foreign sugar. Most of the sugar planters knew that if Hawaii is annexed by US the the tariff issue would vanish. The planters staged an uprising and force that Queen to abdicate. It was formally annexed when the war broke out with Spain and the islands became significant for the US navy. A joint resolution was signed by president William McKinley.
