The correct answer is: "The Crusaders seized Jerusalem but were forced to defend it for the next one hundred years."

Brief context: In 1099 the Crusaders captured Jerusalem and set up several Crusader states (including the Kingdom of Jerusalem). They held the city and surrounding territories until Muslim forces under Saladin recaptured Jerusalem in 1187, after which control of the region continued to change hands.
