The map below shows the Crusades from 1095 A.D. (CE) through 1204 A.D. (CE). Use the map to answer the following question: Map of the First through Fourth Crusades, 1095 CE - 1204 CE. The map shows Europe and North Africa bordering the Mediterranean Sea. Islamic areas are shaded brown; Christian areas are shaded green. Europe, with the exception of Spain is shaded green. Africa, much of the Middle East, and the southern half of Spain are shaded brown. Lines of different colors mark the routes of the four Crusades. The first and second Crusades follow land routes from northern and central France through Italy, and also from Germany through southeastern Europe along the Danube River. The third crusade follows a sea path from England around Spain to southern France, and from central France to southern France, and then to the Holy Land.
