100 years war
What is so significant about the Hundred Years War, in terms of World History?
Most importantly, the battle was a significant military blow to France and paved the way for further English conquests and successes.
The war laid waste to much of France and caused enormous suffering; it virtually destroyed the feudal nobility and thereby brought about a new social order.
Moreover, with this outcome Henry V strengthened his position in his own kingdom; it legitimized his claim to the crown, which had been under threat after his accession.
By ending England’s status as a power on the continent, it led the English to expand their reach and power at sea.

a teenage French peasant girl named Joan of Arc felt moved by God to rescue France from its English conquerors
When Joan was just 13 she began to have visions and hear what she believed were voices of the saints.
They urged her to drive the English from France and give the French crown to France’s true king, Charles VII
In the 1420s, rumors circulated among the French that a young woman would save France from the English. So when Joan arrived on the scene she was considered the fulfillment of that prophecy. Joan cut her hair short and wore a suit of armor and carried a sword.
