The Fourth Crusade (1202-1204) did not make it to Jerusalem. Instead, the crusaders diverted to Constantinople, where they ended up sacking the city in 1204. This diversion was a significant departure from the original goal of reclaiming Jerusalem and instead led to the establishment of the Latin Empire of Constantinople. The Fourth Crusade ultimately weakened the Byzantine Empire and had lasting repercussions for Christian relations in the region.
