Question

Joan of Arc inspired people to be ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Joan of Arc lived during the second phase of the Hundred Years' War, a protracted struggle between French and English/Burgundian factions for control of the French crown. Joan supported the Valois claimant to the throne, Charles VII. Her leadership helped win the Siege of Orleans (1429) for Charles, one of the decisive battles in the Hundred Years' War. If not for Joan of Arc's decisive leadership, the French crown might have fallen under the control of the English king, Henry VI, and the course of Western European history would have been quite different. Instead, Joan's victory opened the way to Charles's coronation at Reims and helped consolidate Charles's power. For centuries after her death, Joan remained a powerful symbol of French nationalism and pride. The legend of Joan of Arc, the heroic "Maid of Orleans," helped give France the sense of identity that propelled it into the modern era as a proud and unified nation-state. The story of Joan, changed and embellished over the centuries, played a vital role in the creation of France's national consciousness.

An inspiration in her own time, Joan of Arc continues to inspire today. Burned at the stake on charges of heresy, Joan was acquitted by later investigations and a papal decree, and in 1920 was canonized (made a saint) by the Roman Catholic Church. A national French holiday created by Parliament that same year celebrates her life and sacrifice.
