Historians commonly attribute part of the growth in contact and trade between west and east to that period✓الإجابة الصحيحة
Historians commonly conclude that the crusading expeditions were beneficial for the regions they reached
Historians commonly hold that trade between western Europe and the eastern Mediterranean began only with the crusading expeditions
الشرح
The attributed claim concerns movement and exchange: armies, shipping, settlement and diplomacy in the same decades are linked by historians with a greater flow of goods, people and ideas between the Latin west and the eastern Mediterranean. The version dating the beginning of such commerce to these expeditions fails because Mediterranean trade had joined east and west long before any of them was called.
