Best Answer

People joined the Crusades for a couple of reasons, the main one being that the church encouraged people to do it. People were told that if they fought in the Crusades, even if they were killed, that all of their sins would be forgiven and they would automatically enter into heaven. Other people just joined the crusades for the riches.

How did Byzantium and Western Europe interact with each other and with the large world of the post classical era?

The Western Europeans and the Byzantium civilizations had a predominantly Christian society so that would bring a lot of interactions between the two. But it would also cause problems between the two due to the fact that both cultures had differing views of the faith. During the crusades western Europeans would travel to the Mediterranean so there was a lot of interaction there. The western Europeans and the Byzantium people were a part of the Eurasian long distance trade routes which would have allowed for active communication and integration between the two groups for trades and business interactions. The groups of the western Europeans and the Byzantium people also were together in wars against the Islamic world.
