Men joined the Crusades for several reasons, including:
1. **To defend Christianity** - Many participants believed they were called to defend Christendom against Muslim expansion and reclaim holy sites.
2. **For adventure** - The Crusades offered a chance for adventure and a break from the routine of daily life, appealing to those seeking excitement and new experiences.
3. **For riches** - Some men joined the Crusades in hopes of gaining wealth through plunder, land acquisition, and trade opportunities in the East.
While some men may have been motivated by a desire to improve methods of warfare or to increase their knowledge of the Muslim faith, these were not the primary reasons for joining the Crusades. The main motivations tended to be religious, social, and economic.
