The Crusades ended in 1303. It is said that Palestine never recovered. It's been 700 years!!! Germany was conquered and destroyed in 1945 and totally recovered 25 years.
The crusades were defensive battles against Islamic invasions.https://twitter.com/westworld1974/status/1167663639752560640 …

It depends on the people living there. Hiroshima are in a good shape now and that was flattened and irradiated.
-
Ditto for the 2011 tsumani. Japan picked itself up and is completing its recovery. Haiti & PR have not. It's the cultural mores and attitudes of the people.
-
Culture manifests through group identity and association. Group identity and association is a reflection of the people. The average IQ in Hati is 67! Their ability to rebuild, maintain, or expand to a complex functioning society reflects their current state.
-
What holds Haiti back is their caste system which stiffles their society bc people w/ the capacity to "move up" can't & if they could they are prevented by their peers (see crab mentality)
-
I guess that those that cannot move up will try to move out instead. The problem with that is that they tend to end up in a society with higher requirements on the job market setting them up to fail. And they attract resentment from the locals competing for the few low skill jobs
-
Move out how? Money is needed to move anywhere, especially out of a country.

There is a reason certain groups of people got kicked out of Spain during that time
-
Indeed, the failure of the crusades was that the Christian world where fighting a war on many fronts and with trade hamstrung by pirates. Fishing in the Mediterranean was not advisable either due to slave raids on the coasts.

Defensive? Explain France, Flanders or Genoa travelling to fight a 'defensive war' in Anatolia and the Levant?
-
France had it rough and their neighbors all around even rougher. I think Europe showed massive restraint. The video that goes with this graphic is stunning and very well done. The threat of Muslim attack was a heavy weight over all Europe. Dracula didn’t come from nowhere.pic.twitter.com/J3u3YlcEml

A defensive war for France would then have been fought against the Umayyad empire in the Iberian peninsula / Al Andalus?
-
They weren’t closed-off nation states, they were a confederation of ethnicities united under Christendom, including North Africa, the M.E., Turkey etc. They were widely traveled and cosmopolitan. Cultural centers were conquered and threatened. Their travelers were attacked.
