Hello,
It is in due time that the Tenth Crusade be added to this page.
Whilst my peers argue about when the Tenth Crusade started, it is agreed that is was solidified on December 9, 1917 when the British captured Jerusalem.
Since then the Holy Land has been controlled by Western powers and solidified with the establishment of the State of Israel on the 14th May 1948. Modernhistorian2026 (talk) 20:31, 8 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

The lead section softens the medievel motivations too much.It should clearly state the Byzantine request for aid,attacks on pilgrims,destruction of the holy site.and rapid territorial expansion.The current wording is off,tensions escalated,routes became difficult is soft to what really happened,the Byzantine Empire called for military assistince in 1095,there are documanted attacts on christians,the destruction of the holy church Sepulchre in 1009,and the rapid territorial growth and expansion from the muslims that threatened the christians and byzantine's,The current lead wording doesn't reflect the urgency decribed in primary sources.A clearer summary of the Byzantine request for aid,pilgrims being slaughtered,the destruction of the holy lands and the rapid expansion of the muslim's,the wording is everything and should not be watered down this is why and how history is lost. ~2026-37188-07 (talk) 09:29, 28 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
