Answer 1

I am really not sure what could be the answer, but the crusades were mainly because the emperor wanted to regain lost territory, Pope wanted to strength his power, to defend Christianity and as well, to monopolize important trading centers. Which I think it is..

C)Europeans merchants wanted spices and silks from the east.

Answer 2

B I believe is the correct awnser because all I am seeing is a new group of Muslims

(Seljuk Turks) took control of the Holy Lands,

including Jerusalem, and closed it to all Jewish

and Christian pilgrims
