Crusaders begin the Siege of Damascus on July 24, 1148 during the Second Crusade. It was a disastrous failure for the Second Crusade, resulting in a swift retreat that crippled European efforts in the Holy Land. Led by Louis VII of France, Conrad III of Germany, and Baldwin III of Jerusalem, Christian forces failed to take the city, boosting Muslim unity.
