The Fourth Crusade lasted from 1095-1099 AD.

The story behind the answer

False. The dates 1095–1099 belong to the First Crusade, launched after Pope Urban II’s call at Clermont in 1095 and culminating in the capture of Jerusalem in 1099. The Fourth Crusade occurred much later, from 1202 to 1204, and never reached the Holy Land. Instead, diverted by Venetian interests and Byzantine political intrigue—and burdened by debt—the crusaders sacked Constantinople in 1204.

This detour reshaped medieval geopolitics: the Latin Empire was established in Constantinople, and the rift between Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic Christians deepened. Memory tip: First Crusade finishes in 1099 with Jerusalem; Fourth Crusade finishes in 1204—note the “4” in both “Fourth” and “1204,” and remember it for the infamous sack of Constantinople.
