[geoff18]

Hi all
I need to answer this question for my half yearlies but i have no idea how to start this question, so I am just wondering if anyone have a similar question like this or did this question before. The question is as follow:

How have the Crusades been interpreted within the comptemporary historical context?

Any information or help on the above question will be greatly appreciate. Thank you very much.
