D. Pope Urban II held a meeting where he called for Christians to begin the Crusades.

The long-term effect of Islamic expansion during the 10th and 11th centuries included the prompting of the Crusades, as Christians in Europe rallied in response to perceived threats from Muslim powers and the desire to reclaim holy lands. Pope Urban II's call for a crusade in 1095 is a key event associated with this response.
