Question

which of these was a goal of the first crusade?
o to halt the spread of muslim rule
o to convince the muslims to rule jerusalem jointly
o to destroy the city of jerusalem
o to force muslims to leave constantinople

Explanation:

The First Crusade (1095 - 1099) was launched by Pope Urban II. One of its main goals was to halt the spread of Muslim rule in the Holy Land (including areas around Jerusalem). The Crusaders aimed to take back Jerusalem (a holy city for Christians) from Muslim control, not to destroy it or have joint rule. Constantinople was the capital of the Byzantine Empire (a Christian empire at the time, though Eastern Orthodox), and forcing Muslims to leave it was not a goal of the First Crusade.

Answer:

to halt the spread of Muslim rule
