The biggest cause of the crusades was the end of the christian campaign to conquer scandanavia. By 1000 CE the various normans had been subdued (along with their bizantine allies) and there were large standing armies with nothing to do but make mischief. Pope Urban sent these away on a mission before they could cause local problems.
