Best Answer

Before Joan of Arc came along the French were used to losing and it was said that one English soldier could handle ten French. After Joan of Arc took command of the French army the War completely reversed and it was said that one French soldier could handle ten English. Therefore, the French won the Hundred Years' War.
by inspiring the french with her faith.
Joan of Arc was born in 1412 to well-to-do peasants from the village of Domrémy in Champagne. Deeply religious, Joan experienced visions and came to believe that her favorite saints had commanded her to free France and have the dauphin crowned as king. In February 1429, Joan made her way to the dauphin's court, where her sincerity and simplicity persuaded Charles to allow her to accompany a French army to Orléans. Apparently inspired by faith of the peasant girl, the French armies found new confidence in themselves and liberated Orléans, changing the course of the war. Within a few weeks, the entire Loire valley had been freed of the English. In July of that same year, fulfilling Joan's other task, the dauphin was crowned king of France and became Charles VII. In accomplishing the two commands of her angelic voices, Joan had brought the war to a decisive turning point. Joan of Arc's accomplishments proved decisive. Although the war dragged on for another two decades, defeats of English armies in Normandy and Aquitaine ultimately led to French victory.
