On the 18th of May the students of the faculty of history DSU took part in a panel discussion on historical issue (under the guidance of the associate professor of the English language academic department for humanities faculties of DSU Omarova Z.M. ). The subject was historical significance and effect of the Crusades.
This problem was selected by the students due to their interest to this period of History.
At the beginning of the discussion the students and our guests watched film on this topic.
The participants exchanged their opinions and a heated debated followed then.
Each student gave his/her assessment of this period. As the result it was found out that the Crusades were a series of religious wars between Cristians and Muslims started primarily to secure control of holy sited considered sacred by both groups.
In all, eight major Crusade expeditions occured between 1096 and 1291. The bloody, violent and often ruthless conflicts propelled the status of European Christians, making them major players in the fight for the land in the Middle East.
