The Christian Crusades, a series of religious wars between the 11th and 15th centuries, resulted in a significant number of deaths. While exact figures are difficult to determine due to the lack of precise historical records, historians estimate that millions of people died during these conflicts. This includes soldiers, civilians, and those who perished due to the indirect consequences of war, such as famine and disease. The Crusades were marked by intense violence and brutality, affecting not only the Christian and Muslim populations but also Jewish communities and others caught in the crossfire. The death toll serves as a somber reminder of the devastating impact of religious and territorial conflicts throughout history.
