The Hundred Years War

By: Adrian, Manny, Carson, Joseph

​

Reason 1

One reason this war was important is that around 1357 England had already captured a lot of land and killed a lot of people. Then King Edward lll called himself the king of France and they also captured King John the ll of France. Land and treasure was negotiated for his return.

Reason 2

“The Hundred Years War inflicted untold misery on France. Farmlands were laid waste, the population was decimated by war, famine, and the Black Death.”

Reason 3

Another reason this was big is because to get more land. The English men married french woman to get more land and this changed the population and lineage of France

Reason 4

Yet the successor of Charles VII, Louis XI, benefited from these evils. The virtual destruction of the feudal nobility enabled him to unite France more solidly under the royal authority and to promote and ally with the middle class. From the ruins of the war an entirely new France emerged. For England, the results of the war were equally decisive; it ceased to be a continental power and increasingly sought expansion as a naval power.

Influence 1

“The Hundred Years' War affected the balance of power in England and France and also remodeled battle. New weapons were developed and instead of having a small band of knights, kings now needed large armies. Unlike people under feudalism before, people were now feeling a great sense of citizenship and duty to their country. Parliament and the King developed a closer relationship and helped unify England. England abandoned the idea of feudalism and looked to more distant lands for conquest and trade.”

Influence 2

“French increase the power of their monarchy while the English increased the power of the parliament.”
