The Siege of Acre: The End of the Crusades

The Siege of Acre (1291) marked the final major battle of the Crusades in the Holy Land, leading to the fall of the last significant Crusader stronghold. Acre, a fortified city on the coast of modern-day Israel, was besieged by the Mamluk Sultanate under Sultan al-Ashraf Khalil. The Mamluks aimed to expel the remaining Crusaders from the Levant. Despite the efforts of the Knights Templar, Hospitallers, and other Crusader forces, the city's defenses crumbled under the relentless Mamluk assault, including the use of massive siege engines. The Crusaders were overwhelmed, and the city fell on May 18, 1291, after a brutal and bloody battle. The fall of Acre signaled the end of Crusader rule in the Holy Land, effectively concluding the era of the Crusades and marking a significant shift in the balance of power in the region.
