Explanation:

Saladin was a prominent Muslim leader during the Crusades. He managed to unite various Muslim - ruled states and forces. His most significant achievement was retaking Jerusalem from the Crusaders in 1187, which had a major impact on the course of the Crusades. He did not fail to rally the Turks, topple the Seljuks to set up the Fatimids, or lead a massacre that incited the Second Crusade (the Second Crusade was launched before Saladin's major actions).

Answer:

He succeeded in uniting Muslim forces and retaking Jerusalem.
