Crusaders attacked the city of zara to rid it of muslim influence true or false

It is False that the Crusaders attacked the city of Zara to rid it of Muslim influence.

Explanation:

The city of Zara, also known as Zadar, began on November 10, 1202 and lasted until November 24, 1202. It was attacked during the Fourth Crusade. This siege was over financial issues and not to rid the city of Muslim influence.

Venice had made a deal with the crusaders to transport over the sea, but the cost was to high. Venice then told the crusaders that they must attack the city of Zara to be able to transport across the sea. many of the crusaders felt this was wrong and refused to participate but others did and the attack began. The Pope Innocent III wrote letters to the crusaders and others involved and told them they would be excommunicated if they attacked but this did not stop the siege.

the answer is false..hope this helps :))
