My Opinion
My opinion about this war is that it was silly and slightly ridiculous.
Pope Innocent III created this huge master plan with a giant army to
capture a city, and they didn't even accomplish that task. They meandered
around Europe doing errands for a couple different people and ended
up sacking and almost destroying a city of an empire which they didn't even have
grievances with. This happened to be Constantinople, a very major city in
that era. They ended up going home some with more money than they started with
and that was it.
Even though my opinion was kind of negative, I still think this topic was extremely
interesting, and I'm glad I picked it.
