The number of Crusades

About the number of Crusade we shall say that continuity of crusaders attack on Muslims increased their number throughout history. While in some of the resources number of the Crusades war is written nine wars, historians like Professor Sam al-Asali knows them as thirteen wars. In total, the list below is proposed by researchers who categorized these wars:
The first Crusader attack: it began in the year 493 AD (1099), which ended with invasion of Antioch, Jerusalem, and the coastal cities of the Levant. The second Crusader attack: the attack started between 542 to 544 AH / 1147 AD to 1149 after the recapture of "Edessa" and driving foreigners out by the house Zangy and the Crusaders tried to o dominate the Damascus.
Third Crusade: 585 588 AH / 1189 AD 1192, the war started after the victory of Muslims in Hattin and the conquest of Jerusalem and did not have an important achievement for the crusaders.
The Fourth war: 599- 601 AH / 1202 - 1204 AD; the target of this Crusade war was city of Constantinople, which was successful.
The Fifth war: 616 - 618 AH / 1219 – 1221 AD; the attack was done with the aim of overcoming Egypt and separating it from other Islamic lands that led to the defeat of the crusaders.
The Sixth war: 626 - 627 AH / 1228 - 1229, during the attack, the sovereignty of Jerusalem and the beam that connected it to the West Coast of Westerns was return to the crusaders.
The Seventh War: 646 - 652 AH / 1248 - 1254 AD; the attack was carried out for crusaders to overcome Egypt which ended by their defeat in al-Mansoura.
The Eight Crusader attack: 669 AH / 1270 AD, the attack ended with defeat against Tunisia.
The Ninth Crusader invasion: 767 AH / 1365 AD; the Crusader invaded Alexandria during the War and returned to Cyprus after looting and destroying it.
The Tenth Attack: 798 AH / 1395 AD; the attack was shattered by Ottoman Turks in Nicopolis.
The Eleventh Attack: 848 AH / 1444 AD, the attack also was defeated by the Ottoman Turks in Farna.
Thus, Crusades can be divided into four categories:
1. Battles by direct target of Jerusalem and Islamic lands of the Levant and Egypt.
2. Defensive wars against the Ottoman Turks.
3. Wars which were carried out in colonial times by the two countries, Portugal and Spain against Muslim countries.
4. Wars in modern times that have guidance and leadership of United States of America and Western ally against Islamic countries and movements, especially in the Middle East.
It is worth noting that the Zionist invasion by help of colonial governments, particularly the government of Great Britain, to usurp the Holy Land of Palestine, is one of the most important Crusade-Zionist measures. But since it requires an independent part it is not included in the present discussion.
Crusades' territory
Anatolia, Syria, Palestine, Egypt, the Mediterranean and especially the East Coast, as well as the Balkans were scenes of fighting in the Crusades until the Ottoman. In the new era, especially after the establishment of Israel, Crusader territory is defined in the form of a formation of a state from the Jewish Nile to the Euphrates and wider Middle East. In fact, the West wants to realize the goals of Christian Zionists and Jewish crusades together by tying the fate of various Islamic countries to each other. The first time in the 90s, the term Great Middle East was raised by Shimon Peres, Prime Minister of Israel. He published a book along with Arley Noor in the same name. The ideas of this book are one of the strategic resources of the United States of America in the Middle East and continued on the basis of Israel's existence in its present form and systems of the area were gradually transformed.
But later "Greater Middle East" was replaced by New Middle East of Shimon Peres and once again security-strategy requirements were approved in the form of strategic geography (Geopolitics, geopolitical and geo-economic and geo Economic and energy) in the form of naked and bare. Since 1996 and 1997 "Greater Middle East" issue and its position and National Security Strategy of the United States in the twenty-first century were seriously discussed. In this approach, in "Strategic Assessment of 1998" US' interests in the Greater Middle East which included North Africa, Turkey, Israel and Afghanistan are: meeting energy needs, deal with Iran and Iraq, Arab-Israeli peace; and preventing the collapse of the disruptive and on the verge of disintegration regimes.
"Adam Gar Fenikl" of "Foreign Policy Research Institute" in a speech said the greater Middle East includes the Arab world, Israel, Turkey, Iran, Central Asia and the Caucasus. But "Lesser", "Nardoly" and "Arqavan" in the book "the origins of the crisis in the Greater Middle East" know the region including North Africa, Turkey, Palestine, Persian Gulf and borders of these regions, namely Central Asia and the Caucasus, and raise America's interests in the region by 2025 in six areas as follows:
1. Survival of Israel and the Middle East peace process;
2. Access to oil;
3. Preventing empowering of challenging regional hegemon;
4. Stopping the spread of weapons of mass destruction;
5. Economic and political reform and stability of countries;
6. Control of terrorism.
