War technology significantly contributed to the decline of feudalism by shifting the nature of warfare and the power dynamics between lords and peasants. The introduction of advancements such as gunpowder, cannons, and more effective infantry weapons diminished the effectiveness of heavily armored knights and fortified castles, which were central to feudal power. As monarchs began to rely on professional standing armies instead of feudal levies, they centralized authority and reduced the influence of local lords, undermining the feudal system's hierarchical structure. Consequently, this transition fostered the rise of centralized nation-states and diminished the traditional feudal bonds between lords and vassals.

The outbreak of war, particularly during the late Middle Ages and the Hundred Years' War, shifted power dynamics as monarchs required larger, more professional armies, reducing reliance on feudal lords. This centralization of power diminished the traditional feudal hierarchy and fostered a sense of national identity. Additionally, the war efforts encouraged increased taxation and representation, leading to the emergence of parliamentary systems and democratic thought, as common people began to demand a voice in governance. Consequently, the decline of feudalism paved the way for more egalitarian political structures.
