Answer 1

I believe there are two correct answers: Muslims attacked the Byzantine Empire, so the Byzantines asked for protection.  Also, European Christians wanted to expand their role in the East--basically, spread their Christian beliefs.

Answer: A and C

Answer 2

A string of religious conflicts instigated, and supervised by Latin Churches is called a crusade. Widely known crusades occurred during 1095-1291. To free Jerusalem from Islamic rule Crusade occurred.

The correct option is:

• Option A. Muslims attacked the Byzantine Empire.

• Option C. European Christians wanted to expand their role in the East.

This can be explained as:

• The war between the Arabs and Byzantine during the 7th- 11th century happened because of an increased emergence of Arabs in the territory of Southern Byzantium.

• The Muslims assailed Byzantine Empire to acquire Constantinople for political and religious controls.

• European voyaged to the East for business and commerce. Through the trade practices, Europe commenced expanding and establishing Christianity in the East.

Therefore, these are the events that led to the Crusades.
