10 - The Crusades were _________ (fill in the blank)

9 - The Crusades revived a dormant western European culture

8 - The Crusades amounted to naked greed on the part of
     Europeans

6 - The Crusades were supported by Europeans

5 - The Crusades are portrayed as a contest between
     Christianity and Islam
