a known fact that England and France have despised each other for a long time and it’s no wonder they do despise each other. In 1337, a war broke out between England and France. This war was called the Hundred Years’ War. The reason the war was named the Hundred Years’ War is because this war lasted a little over one hundred years.

tensions between the English and French were high. In 1337, The French attacked the English-controlled duchy of Gascony in France, which led to the English declaring war on France.

In earlier days, it would have been no question as to whom could manipulate the other into giving up power, the pope would only have to threaten excommunication and the king would give in to the papal demands. Philip was not one to fear excommunication as those ahead of him had; the Church was not greater than he was. Eventually Philip tired of the games between himself and the papacy

Elizabeth I and the Spanish Armada The cold, stormy night was all too familiar to the English. A devious plan by Spain's king, Philip II, was being formed to overthrow Queen Elizabeth I of England and rid the world of the English "heretics."1 It was a story of deception, false judgments, and poor planning. What was one king's dream turned into his country's nightmare. While the Spanish had bad leaders, the English had good ones. The Spanish had bigger, but slower ships, while the English had
Chapter 12: Crisis of the Later Middle Ages What were the causes of the population decline that began in the early 14th century? The significant population decline that began in the early 14th-century was caused primarily by “Great Famine,” and The Black Death.
