Book Report-Classic History of United Kingdom

 I didn't know about history of united kingdom, so I decided to read the book. Also, when I learned about the world history, I was interested in Hundred Years War which is very impressed as I was 14 years old. Its definition is that the series of wars fought intermittently between England and France from 1337-1453, after early victories the English were expelled from all of France except Calais. From this book, Hundred Years War had its roots in the period of William's reign. He was the Conqueror, who became King of England in 1066. He retained possession of the Duchy of Normandy in France, so the English king owed feudal homage to the king of France. Edward III who was the king of the England detested pledge and wanted to reign like heroic knight. Above all thing, Edward III wanted to take back Anjou's territory. In the meantime, the longer the battle continued, the more people got a illness like Black Death. It began to ravage Europe in 1348. How the war was over? I was known about France winning the battle because of Jeanne d'Arc. After Hundred Years War was over, War of the Roses broke out. It is just struggle to gain power represented by eminent family in England. York which was symbolized red rose did battle with Lancaster which was symbolized white rose. Then, Edward Ⅳ became the king of the England.

 Although we no longer have an Empire on which the sun never sets, we can see at British Museum. There are many artifact which is other countries' historical relics. It wasn't built in a day. It can makes to invade the territory of another country. While the Elizabeth I reigned England, the nation was developed very fast. By way of example, the Spanish Armada was the Spanish fleet that sailed against England under the command of the Duke of Medina Sidonia in 1588, with the intention of overthrowing Elizabeth I of England and putting an end to her involvement in the Spanish, Netherlands and in privateering in the Atlantic and Pacific.
