The Fall of the Eleventh
Sounds like the theft of lands from Native Americans to me, but not really sure.

Well, the only thing I can think about is the formation of the State of Israel in 1948. Jews had been spread around the world for nearly 2000 years (which would account for the Over hills, through sands, / through forest and over waves), and they had lost their Promised Land. The part about massacring the locals could be a reference to the expulsion of the Arab Palestinians from current Israel and the wars between Israel and its Arab neighbours.

I must admit that this was my first hunch... but I thought it would have to much of a political baggage....
(I'm not saying I would mind if this was it..just why I didn't mention it
)

You win.
Over hills, through sands,
through forest and over waves.
Many approached a lost land.
When the many reached this land,
they massacred the locals,
and took the lost land as their own.
The crusaders went to the "Holy Land" by land and by sea.
Many nations partook in the crusade
They killed all the non-Christians in Jerusalem when they took the city
and formed the European kingdom of Jerusalem which lasted for under 100 years.
The crusade also made the nations of Tripoli, Antioch, Eddesa, and Armenian Cilicia.

William the conqueror did just go by water. as I said to everyone before you solved it, they were supposed to take it literally.
An invasion by land and sea
That kind of narrows it down alot when you are speaking before gunpowder.
And where would [Desert] come in in most of those guesses anyways?
