3 Credits

The Crusades helped Western Europe emerge out of the Middle Ages and also marked the beginning of European imperialism in the Muslim Near East. This course will examine the Crusading Era from 1000-1200 and show how it affected the three great civilizations that participated in them, how/why they ended, and ultimately, their legacy.
