   Why did the Crusaders turn against the city in 1204, by the chain, Jun asks?

   Which is the stronger explanation of the 1204 sack, with its reason, Milo asks?

   • A plan from 1095, since the call came first
   • The debt alone, since it is the first box

    Why read Cards A, B and C together, Tala asks?

    Use the picture in question 7.
