The crusades might have been a failure because they did not win many wars. A failure can be considered a success because you can learn new things from the loss. Reply

I agree with panda_lover because they failed at gaining The Holy Land (Jerusalem) but they came back with new knowledge. This knowledge led into a new period that was full of new things a somewhat prosperous. Reply

The Crusades were considered a failure because the Muslims retained the Holy Land after 8 Crusades. Reply

Although the Christian's lost the Holy Land, they gained increased trade and commerce. Goods from the Middle East became available throughout Europe. Europeans advanced their culture learning more about mathematics, science and art. Also as feudalism weakened European kings gained more power. These were gains made even though the war was lost.
