1095 Launch of the first Crusade. Wasn’t this about time? Talk about “turning the other cheek! It took 400 years for Christians to respond to Islamic aggression and conquest!
This was a military expedition by European Christians to regain the Holy Lands taken by the Muslim conquest of the Levant, which resulted in the re-capture of Jerusalem in 1099.

>> That re-conquest did not last long.
The final loss of Jerusalem for European forces can be considered to be between 1270 and 1272. In the year 1270, Louis IX of France who lead the (arguably called) Eight crusade died on the shores of modern day Tunisia. This had effectively ended the Eight crusade and also led Henry III of England’s son Edward to sail to Acre and try to reclaim the city. He was, however, unsuccessful and had to return back to England. His demise marks the ending of the Ninth crusade which lasted from around 1271 to 1272.
