100 Years War

I have to apologize, I thought this was posted... but it seems to have disappeared....so let's try this again!

Daily Objectives:

Main Idea:  The Hundred Years War led to the extinction of knights because of the longbow. England and France became strong, unified nations.

WORDS WORTH KNOWING
Longbow:  a weapon that led to the extinction of knights. Deadly at long range, easier training, and less expensive.
 Battle of Crecy (France):  British longbow men defeat heavily-armored French knights.
Battle of Agincourt (France):  British victory with longbows. Famous, bloody battle fought by Henry V.
Nationalism: love and pride in one’s country

Causes
• French King dies without heir and English king lays claim.
• England and France want to increase trade.
• England wants a continental empire.

Outcomes:
• Feudalism, medieval knights become obsolete.
• Along with Schism and plague, 100 years war brings end to the Middle Ages.
