The First Crusade was the only crusade that reached it's objective of recover the Holy Sepulcher. The movie we have been watching stated that "The First Crusade was better known as the cannibilism crusade". Pope Urban II made one crucial mistake, offering his men Papal Indulgences and telling them that no matter what they did that they would go directly to Heaven. The Crusaders had their own battle cry, "Deus lo volt", which means God wills it. This is what they would scream in battle. The First Crusade led to the capturing of Jerusalem. Though this power only lasted for less than a couple hundred years, the First Crusade was still a major turning point in the growth of Western power. The largest positive outcome of the First Crusade was it's success in establishing the Crusader states of Edessa, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Tripoli.
