The objective of the First Crusade was to reconquer the Holy Land, particularly Jerusalem, which was held by Muslims at the time. Launched in 1096, the crusade aimed to reclaim Christian territories in the Near East and address the grievances against Muslim control of sacred sites. Ultimately, the crusaders captured Jerusalem in 1099, establishing a Christian kingdom in the region.
