Did the crusades give us any new knowledge or affect us in how we trade, do business, or live our daily lives? People say the effects of the crusades still affect us today but I don't know enough to see how

The Crusades should teach people that waiting til the last minute turns a small problem into a big problem (i.e. Islam had been growing and getting closer to Europe for centuries). And even if God is on your side, the consequences of being passive and not being pro-active still hurt.

Same lessons we should learn from Fatima, but haven't.

Naturally speaking, the crusades put Europeans into contact with the philosophy and technology of the lands of the Byzantine empire. The items brought back developed a desire for new trade, and the books brought back, including some Greek texts of Aristotle and others, fostered translation and scholarship. These were components of the 12th century renaissance and the high middle ages, which led to the Italian renaissance and subsequent scientific developments.

The Crusades taught us that Jєωιѕн plots against Church need to be stopped (crushed) at the first sign and to never compromise with the enemy.
