The Middle Ages, the time of the Crusaders, was a time of wars for control of the Holy Land. In 1110, Baldwin I, King of Jerusalem, with the help of the Venetians, captured the city of Sidon, the most important fortress on the coast. • Baldwin was not just a military leader, but also a skillful diplomat. The Venetians provided him with a fleet to lay siege to Sidon, and Baldwin himself strategized the capture. The city, which had long been under Muslim rule, became an important acquisition for the Christian world. The capture of Sidon gave the Crusaders control of an important port and strategic route. • This success strengthened the Crusaders' position in the Middle East. But like any victory, it was temporary - the Crusaders faced new challenges in their struggle to hold the Holy Land. • Join the “One Day History” company • We will be grateful for your support, namely by subscribing to our channel: • / @onedayhistory-u3d • likes 👍🏼 and comments. • And also be sure to click on the bell 🔔 (so you don't miss our • new videos). • #onedayhistory #history #historyfacts #historychannel
