Although the Crusades are popularly viewed as religiously inspired campaigns to recapture the Holy Land, students should recognize them as a result of the social and economic events in Europe between 1000 and 1200. Religious and secular leaders seeking to end the fighting among feudal lords seized upon the Crusades as a means of redirecting that aggression. Feudal knights who would not be inheriting their family properties eagerly enlisted in the Crusades as a way to win wealth or status. The idea of the pilgrimage was a powerful one, and the Crusades were basically armed pilgrimages to the Holy Land. The various Crusades ultimately failed. The sack of Constantinople was a fitting denouement to the whole concept.

Turkey.</span>
One of the reason that matter is able to move around within the earth is THE INTERACTION BETWEEN MATTER AND ENERGY.
The major source of energy on the earth is the sun. The heat energy from the sun is used to drive many chemical reactions on the earth. When the heat energy of the sun heat up a matter, it increases its temperature and causes the particles in the matter to move with greater motion until phase change occur. For instance, when the sun heat up water in the ocean, the particles of the water move about with great energy until they escape into the atmosphere in form of vapour.
