After the failure of the Second Crusade, there were several consequences for the Crusader states:
* The Crusaders lost control of Edessa, which remained in Muslim hands for the rest of the Crusading era.
* The failure of the crusade damaged the reputation of the Crusaders and led to a loss of confidence in the ability of the West to defend the Crusader states.
* The crusade also contributed to the growing rift between the Latin West and the Byzantine Empire, as the Byzantines were blamed for not providing enough support to the Crusaders.
* The failure of the Second Crusade also led to a period of introspection and re-evaluation of the Crusader movement. Some Crusaders began to question the righteousness of their cause and the methods they were using to achieve their goals.
In the years after the Second Crusade, the Crusaders focused on consolidating their control over the remaining Crusader states and defending them from Muslim attacks. They also launched several more crusades, but these were also unsuccessful in achieving their goals. The Crusading movement eventually came to an end in the 13th century, with the fall of Acre, the last major Crusader stronghold in the Holy Land.
