How did the Hundred Years’ War reshape England, France, and the course of European history? This book traces the history of the Hundred Years’ War (1337-1453), a series of conflicts fought between England and France over territorial and dynastic disputes. It examines the military innovations, key battles like Agincourt, and the rise of national identities in both countries. The narrative discusses the impact of the war on feudal society, the development of new military technologies such as the longbow, and the role of iconic figures like Joan of Arc. By analyzing the war’s effect on the political and social structure of both nations, the book illustrates how the conflict contributed to the end of feudalism, the rise of centralized monarchies, and the shift in European power dynamics.
