Question

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

Explanation:

The First Crusade was launched by Pope Urban II in 1095. One of its main goals was to halt the spread of Muslim rule and regain control of Jerusalem (a holy city for Christians) from Muslim hands. The idea of jointly ruling Jerusalem with Muslims was not a goal. Destroying Jerusalem was contrary to the aim of regaining it for Christian use. And forcing Muslims to leave Constantinople was not the main goal of the First Crusade.

Answer:

to halt the spread of Muslim rule
