Detailed explanation-1: -The French king Charles VII conquered Normandy and then retook Aquitaine in 1453, leaving the English in possession only of Calais. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -The consolidation of the French monarch’s control over all of France. A greater use of international diplomacy and specialised diplomats. A greater feeling of nationalism amongst the populations of both countries. The creation of national heroes, notably Henry V in England and Joan of Arc in France.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Hundred Years’ War encouraged a feeling of nationalism in both France and England because the common people started seeing the monarchs as leaders of the nation, rather than just feudal lords, who were fighting for the greater glory and pride of the country and the people identified with those sentiments.
