When the Second Crusade ended, the European Christians lost control of the Holy Land (Jerusalem).
The main aim of the Fifth Crusade was to reclaim the Holy Land, including Jerusalem. This Crusade planned to accomplish this by taking over Ayyubid located in Egypt.
The First Crusade (1096-1099) was successful in capturing Jerusalem and establishing the Crusader States in the Holy Land. The Crusaders were able to defeat the Seljuk Turks and secure control over key territories. This success marked a significant victory for the Christian forces in their campaign to free the Holy Land.
The Seljuk Turks- they were Muslims that took over the "Holy Land" - Jerusalem.
the Muslims had taken over Jerusalem and the Christians wanted it back so the pope called for a crusade. he said that if you fought and died you would go to heaven and that if you survived you would get to see the holy land.
That would be a Crusade. The first crusade occurred in 1095 or so and there were crusades over the next 200 years.
The Children's Crusade was a political effort to place religious fervor back into the failed Fourth Crusade. The belief was that the children were protected by God and through this protection they would be able to take the holy land of Israel from the Muslims.

It wasn't a country so much as a city; the Crusaders wanted to take over Palestine (Jerusalem) which was- and still remains- one of the largest holy centers in the world. At the time of the first Crusade, Palestine was in Muslim control, and, actually, the main reason for the Crusades was to recapture the holy land from the Islam religion.
