The main result of the Crusades was hardening Muslim attitudes against the Christian faith. Also after one stood back and viewed all the destruction and the death that had happened there began to be doubts about God's will and the church's authority. This lack of trust, in my opinion, was one of the main factors pushed away society from the religious ruled civilization that they had grown accustom to. Many people became disinterested with religion and felt they had no use for it further weakening the icy grasp of  Church at that time.

 

The Crusades also seem to act as a catalyst in the spread of religion but necessarily in the way they had hoped. They educated the Muslims and gave them respect for foreign culture. Also the increased use of literature and translation of literature made it possible for more publication of different books. The Koran was translated and printed in Latin in the year 1143 by Peter the Venerable. Also Christians began to view Muslims as lost souls that they needed to save instead of just viewing them as the enemy or robbers or murderers.  Most of the actual politics during the Crusades did not change much and the only powers that remained after the Crusades were over was military power. Knights and Templars had power in a situation where before they had none, even after the Crusades.

 

Finally, the Crusades put huge financial burdens on the clergy and the laity. The supporting funds were exhausted during the expeditions and quests leaving the "bank account" empty at the end of the Crusades. But in the same way, This money was not wasted in the Crusades for another end result of them was to further and advance of a money run economy, banking and of course wherever there is money there are also taxes. The two countries that were most effected in this manor were Also more research of medicine, Islamic science, and philosophy occurred as another result of the Crusades. This was all due to the contact made with the Muslims through the Crusades.
