Why did the crusades start?
bounus if you say DEUS VULT.

The Crusades were organized by western European Christians after centuries of Muslim wars of expansion. Their primary objectives were to stop the expansion of Muslim states, to reclaim for Christianity the Holy Land in the Middle East, and to recapture territories that had formerly been Christian.

it was after Turkic expansion in Anatolia

Explanation:

A group of Islamic Turkic's know as the Seljuks began to expand into the area of Anatolia which at the time was controlled by Byzantium when the Turks won the invasion the king of Byzantium turned to the pope calling for some aide. But the pope said "na Lets go burn down the middle east in the name of god and take Jerusalem DEUS VULT" after that he would call for all Christians to help in the crusades.
