Why were the English so strong throughout most of the Hundred Years War? Yeah, they lost, but they really shouldn't have done nearly as well as they did in the first place.

>Yeah they lost but
cope a teenage girl kicked your ass.
Joan of arc was a freemasonic ur-zog servant
she was best buddies with a child murdering demon worshipper
State what ever schizo cope or bullshit claim you want but the second the French started trying you lost as you should have. You should never be mainlanders and apparently God agrees.
The English were the most anti zog forces in all of western europe at the time. this is why freemasonic scots and israelite controlled freemasonic demon worshipping french attacked them
>freemasons
>14th century
At least half of France would be speaking English right now if Henry V hadn't abruptly died after Agincourt.
Pretty much the contrary, England would still be speaking french if the plantagenet had win.
Everything revolves around luck and bad luck my friend.
Agincourt wouldn't have happened if Henry V hadn't been trying to retreat back to his island in disgrace after losing half of his army while besieging the irrelevant village of Harfleur for over a month.
Nor would have it been a victory if not for the mud.
Luck did him and then undid him.
France had 20 million people and england 2 million.
The war should have been over in 6 months yet somehow took 100 years
You don't understand war at all if you think it's all population. Also again you got your ass kicked by a teenage girl and didn't even have the balls to take her out yourselves.
It's not ALL population but to beat someone 10x stronger than you, it will take one Hell of a strategy plus all the luck in the world.
Yeah, but as already pointed out in this thread:
1. A large amount of the French total pop was on their side when counting allied duchies and owned lands
2. They didn't win
What the frick. How did England not get raped especially considering the fact they were the ones invading
Keep in mind the english crown already owned tons of land in france at the outset of the war. Probably quite a few of the soldiers involved on the english side were natively french.
The French Nobility did a lot of frickery. France was also less centralized than England, so couldn't use harness resources and manpower pool as well. Note this trend ended the with conclusion of the 100 years wars, English Invasions say even during the French Wars of Religion were resounding failures.
That's actually mind blowing. The fr*nch are pathetic
the ratio was more around 1:5 if we're comparing the geographical areas, but the "english" oftenc controlled up to 1/2, certainly if you count the burgundian controlled areas as "english"
That's not how it works, kiddo.
Firstly, "England" (aka the House Plantagenet) had several of the most populous and powerful French duchies on its side.
And secondly, total population size hardly mattered in warfare until the advent of mass conscription in the 19th century. Before that, some countries such as Prussia often found themselves with a larger army than countries twice their size in total population.
>France had 20 million people
Either this is bullshit, either one must wonder what the heck the French were doing in the next five centuries because in 1800 France proper had 26 millions inhabitants
You know she died, right? France lost that battle and the war went on for another 20 years.
He is American clearly, so probably learned history from Age of Empires 2
kek, accurate
I don't know any other reason why non-frogs would simp so much for that schizo roastie
From French people after pushing the English back and utterly reversing the momentum of the war. I suppose you don't like acknowledging history that angers you.

>Why were the English so strong
They werent
The question isn't why was England so strong, but why was France so weak? And the answer is that they the nobles weren't always the feeling fond for their king.
The war actually went back and forth a few times, the english did not constantly win for most of the time like popular history dictates.
What really turned the tide of the war toward the end was france reorganising their military, creating a more modern standing army and coming up with various tactics to counter the english tactics (which, once countered, the english really had no answer for). Ontop of that, england was becoming embroiled in a civil war and couldn't focus as much attention on france..
What really turned the tide of the war toward the end was the fact the Duchy of Burgundy (which had been responsible for most English successes in the war, including the capture of Joan of Arc) decided to become neutral.
Once deprived of their strong allies, the English got buttraped within a decade.
The Burgundians were only English allies for a brief period of the war during Henry V's campaign. Interesting that in your chronology they built a time machine to go back to Crécy and Poitiers and lose those battles for the French.
>Duchy of Burgundy (which had been responsible for most English successes in the war).
Huh? I don't agree with that. The english commanders, archers and tactics was what was winning battles for them. I'm not even sure what burgundy supplied to the english. Maybe money? men-at-arms? safe passage? supplies? and I don't really care for joan of arc. She didn't have much effect apart from morale boosting.
This site's joan of arc cult has to be the biggest cringe going and that's saying a lot. Imagine simping for a yaaas queen fantasy because you have an anglo mind worm
Imagine being ass blasted about a loss that happened centuries ago.

>be like joan of arc who saved her country
>from who
>uhhh.... us
I actually wrote a paper about how every group from every political faction across the planet somehow finds a way to try and appropriate her for their causes even at the same time for very contradictory things. One hardcore feminist might use her as a symbol while a traditional values guy brings up her harrying of the hookers where she thot patrolled on the soldiers behalf as a sign of her conservatism. It's insane how everyone loves her but is willing to twist her for anything.
On sites like plebbit they simp for joan for feminist reasons, on sites like LULZ they simp for joan because they're waifugay incels who latch on to and obsess over women they will never interact with
More you say than the bongs who whine about a loss and pretend it didn't happen after centuries? You people are pathetic. I personally just love any event that brought misery and humiliation on you vermin.
Strong government.
The Anglo-Saxon government of England was one of the most well-organized in the world at that point in time and the Normans inherited it without fricking it up too badly.
