Welcome to Learn with Nausher, and today we embark on an extraordinary journey through one of history's most dramatic religious military campaigns—the First Crusade. This isn't just a tale of knights and battles; it's a complex story of political intrigue, religious fervor, and the collision of civilizations that would reshape the map of the Middle East and Europe for centuries to come. In this hour-long special, we'll trace the complete narrative from the seeds of conflict sown decades before Pope Urban II's famous call at Clermont, through the disastrous People's Crusade, to the brutal sieges and battles that culminated in the Christian capture of Jerusalem in 1099. Drawing from contemporary chronicles and modern scholarship, we'll reveal the truth behind the propaganda, the motivations of leaders and commoners alike, and how this crusade forever changed relations between the Muslim world and Christian Europe.
