Joan of Arc inspired the French nationalism during the Hundred Years' War. Joan was a teenage peasant girl who appeared before Charles the Dauphin, heir to the French throne, in 1429. She claimed to have heard voices telling her to lead the French in an effort to drive the English out of her country. She insisted on being given command of the French army. After being carefully examined by court officials and members of the clergy who were impressed by her sincerity and piety, she was put in command of the French forces. Miraculously, she led the French in saving the city of Orleans from an English attack. Inspired by her martyrdom after she was captured and executed, the French went on to force the English out of their country.

Why was the hundred years war called hiroshima in Normandy?
I have never heard that phrase before, however I can understand the sentiment behind it. During the war the English and French pushed eachover back and forth all over nothern France, mainly Normandy, and the retreating side always used a scorched earth policy.
This meant that food was very scarce and with a lot of the soldiers living off the land, many Normans found the little food they had being confiscated at blade-point.
Even after the war moved further south and east Normandy never fully recovered and many farms were unable to grow crops until long after the war.
Not entirely sure of the numbers but it is estimated the population of Normandy by the end of the war was less than a quarter of what it was at the beginning.
Goes to show, you don't need a super weapon to cause mass death and destruction.
Who railed the french troops during the hundred year war?
Do you mean who rallied the French troops during the Hundred Years' War?
That would unquestionably be Joan of Arc, a 17 year-old peasant girl who convinced the dauphin, the French crown prince, that God had chosen her to raise the siege of Orleans and then conduct him, the rightful heir to the French throne, to Rheims to be crowned King of France. The dauphin was so impressed by Joan, who told him a secret that only he could have known, that he gave her a great war horse, a new suit of armor, a steward, pages and heralds, and an army!
Joan led this army to Orleans, a city which was the key to southern France and had been under siege by the English who already had control of northern France, (Paris, Normandy, etc.) for 7 months. In just 9 days, by her natural ability to make quick, sensible, tactical decisions and to inspire and lead her troops, Joan raised the siege of Orleans (May 1st to 9th, 1429). She then conducted the dauphin to Rheims, where he was crowned King of France on July 7th, 1429.
How was Joan of Arc a good samaritan?
Joan of Arc was, for lack of as better word, a female knight. She was a warrior in the service of France. While I am sure she had compassionate moments, she was not the Samaritan type- in the sense of Clara Barton or Florence Nightingale. It is stretching things to call the maid of Orleans a samaritan type. But she WAS a Girl.

The peasants are usually the ones who suffer most in any war, but the Hundred Years war was especially bad. The momentum changed several times during the war. The same territory could change hands repeatedly. Various lords also changed sides repeatedly, according to who held the power at the moment. Troops often foraged in the peasants fields, leaving little for the peasants to harvest for themselves. or battles were fought in the fields, destroying the crops altogether. Starvation and plague accompanied the armies as they marched back and forth across the fields of France.

1337, November, Battle of Cadzand, the start of the wars. The Flemish defenders of the island were thrown into disorder by the first use of the English longbow on Continental soil. It was a minor battle. It consisted of a raid on the Flemish island of Cadzand, designed to provoke a reaction and battle from the local garrison and so improve morale in England and amongst King Edward III's continental allies by providing his army with an easy victory.

The effectiveness of the English longbow, used en masse, was proven against armoured knights, contrary to the conventional wisdom of the day which held that archers would be ineffective and be butchered when the armoured units closed in.
