The document summarizes some of the major events in 14th-15th century Europe that led to the creation of modern states. It describes periods of crisis including climate change, the Black Death pandemic which killed over half of Europe's population, and popular uprisings by peasants against wealthy landowners. Two significant wars are mentioned: the Hundred Years' War between England and France from 1337-1453, and the War of the Roses from 1455-1485 which was a civil war in England between the houses of Lancaster and York. These conflicts weakened central authority, caused widespread death and economic problems, and ultimately led to the establishment of stronger centralized nation states.

The Hundred Years’ War • It was a series of wars that took place in the 14th -15th centuries (1337-1453 ). • The main cause was a dynastic conflict when the king Charles IV (the last king of the dynasty Capeto) died without descendants. • Edward III of England claimed for the crown • Philip VI, king of France (new dynasty Valois) attacked the possessions of Edward.
• England occupied a great part of France.
• France is going to receive the help of a Saint: Joan of Arc. Who will encourage the people to fight against the invaders and recover Orleans.
• Joan of Arc will be captured, judged in an religious court and accused of heresy. • She was condemned to be burned at the stake. • France will ultimately win the war and expel the English in 1453.
• France and England will suffer many consequences from this war: • A lot of people died. • The kings went in bankrupt. • The lands were abandoned • Crops were very poor. This caused hunger and starvation.
The War of the Roses (15th c.) • It was a Dynastic Conflict between two dynastic lines. The white rose of the House of York The red rose of the House of Lancaster
• The final victory went to a relatively remote Lancastrian descendant: • Henry Tudor, who married Elizabeth of York (the daughter of the late Yorkist king Edward IV). • This reconciled the two factions and founded the House of Tudor, which ruled England and Wales for 117 years.
