This Decadent Shaming of the Crusaders Is a Warning Sign

Defensive and successful. They bought time for Europe to evolve and be ready for the next clash. The Renaissance came about when Islam started winning again and Europe reacted by changing its ways instead submitting to a Dark Ages like the Romans did in a similar situation.
