Question

How did the Crusades lead to globalization in later centuries?

A.) "They increased hostility between Muslims and Christians, promoting war."

B.) " They introduced Europeans to luxury goods from Asia, encouraging trade."

C.) "They strengthened the knights and noblemen of Europe, weakening royal power."

D.) " They demonstrated the economic value of slavery, motivating expeditions to Africa."

Answer 1

The answer is letter B. The Crusades were inflicted by Europe's desire to take back the holy land or Jerusalem but failed because the Muslims were more advanced than them and traded more, having more exposure to different places and countries, like Asia. The trade and cultural exchange paved way for globalization to happen.
