Why did the crusades fail?

by Happyperson2

Why was the first crusade so successful but all the later crusades failed?

I see no one has responded to your question yet. This is probably because the answer is very detailed and complicated and that each crusade is unique to its time period and circumstances so there isn't one overarching reason. However, I will suggest reading The Crusades by Thomas Asbridge, it is a great book that discusses the history of the Crusades.
