? Yes it was

It escalated into a war against the Byzantines, the head of the Eastern Orthodox Church, which is fucking Christian.

It changed partway through

It did, yeah.

But it was a call against Islamic aggression by the Pope

Don't know enough about it to know why they went to Byzantium though

By the orders of the Pope it was, however the Venetians steered it into a land grab by dropping the Crusaders off the coast of Croatia and later Constantinople, the latter without giving the Crusaders a ride to anywhere else.

Therefore the Crusaders pillaged the shit out of Constantinople, effectively killing off the Byzantines and leaving the door wide open for the Ottomans to take over 200 years later.

And even then, the main theater of the Crusades wasn’t the Levant and Anatolia all the time.

The Reconquista and the multiple Baltic Crusades are a good example of that.

The Baltic Crusades even being about converting pagans on the South coast of the Baltic Sea, not about Islam.

Just sounds like another tragedy of history. I don't think anyone in the Anglosphere talks about the Northern Crusades (or the Reconquista really), so don't mind so much about people getting them wrong

Yeah, really does suck.

Such shallow nonsense

Blablabla history
