The name given to the series of military campaigns led by European Christians from the 11th to the 14th century to retake the Holy Land from Muslim rule is the Crusades. The Crusades were religious wars, also known as "holy wars" or perhaps "armed pilgrimages," initiated by the Latin Church to establish control over holy lands. The bulk of the Crusades took place from 1096 to 1291, although smaller campaigns continued into the 14th century.
