the crusades of the medieval period were
programs of christian outreach in the us south
successful in bringing peace to europe and asia
created to help the poor
a string of invasions by the catholic church into the east

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• "Programs of Christian outreach in the US South" is incorrect as the Crusades were in Medieval Europe/Asia, not US South.
• "Successful in bringing peace to Europe and Asia" is wrong; Crusades were violent and didn't bring lasting peace.
• "Created to help the poor" is incorrect; main goals were religious (recapture Holy Land) and political, not poverty relief.
• "A string of invasions by the Catholic Church into the East" is correct. The Crusades were military campaigns by Western Christians (Catholic Church - led) into the Eastern Mediterranean/Asia to recapture the Holy Land, involving invasions.

Answer:

D. A string of invasions by the Catholic Church into the East
