The First Crusade started in 1096 after Byzantine Emperor Alexius I called on Pope Urban II and Western countries for help. The emperor's land was being invaded by Seljuk Turks, so he needed help driving them away. However, the fighting soon turned into a religious mission. Christians wanted to take back the Holy Land and Jerusalem, which were controlled by Muslims at that time. On this date in 1099, Christian soldiers overtook one of Jerusalem's heavily defended walls and eventually the city. It was a long, hard fight that ended with the Christians controlling Jerusalem again.
第一次十字軍東征始 於1096年,在拜占庭君主阿歷克塞一世向教宗烏爾巴諾二世與西方國家求援之後展開。阿歷克塞一世的領土被塞爾柱土耳其人侵占,所以他需要協助以驅逐他 們。然而這場戰爭卻迅速轉變為一場宗教任務,因為基督徒想要拿回聖地以及耶路撒冷,而這些地方當時都被穆斯林所掌控。在1099年的今天,基督教的軍隊奇 襲耶路撒冷一面重兵防守的城牆,最後奪下了該城。這是一場漫長的硬戰,結果是由基督徒重新取得耶路撒冷的掌控權收場。
