How did Joan of Arc end feudalism?
Joan of Arc helped to end feudalism in the Middle Ages, but actually it was the
Black Plague which did the most to eliminate feudalism by killing almost half of the
working people of Middle Age Europe.
Joan of Arc, as a commoner (not of noble birth or an aristocrat) probably helped
kill feudalism by showing that a person of humble birth could be just as great a
leader and inspiration for soldiers as any nobleman.
Some say this is the very reason that King Charles VII did nothing to save Joan
from being burnt as a heretic by her English enemies. Charles was afraid that Joan
had way too much popularity with the common people and feared she was
a threat to the existing aristocracy.
What was the Hundred Years War all about?
The Hundred Years' War was a series of conflicts waged from 1337 to 1453 pitting the House of Plantagenet, rulers of the Kingdom of England, against the House of Valois for control of the Kingdom of France. Each side drew many allies into the war. Two factors lay at the origin of the conflict: first, the status of the duchy of Guyenne (or Aquitaine)-though it belonged to the kings of England, it remained a fief of the French crown, and the kings of England wanted independent possession; second, as the closest relatives of the last direct Capetian king (Charles IV, who had died in 1328), the kings of England from 1337 claimed the crown of France.

What are major causes on the Hundred Years' War?
Hundred Years' War was a conflict between England and France that officially began in 1337 when Edward III of England laid claim to the French throne. The intermittent fighting culminated in the expulsion of the English from the European continent.The actual length of the war was 116 years.
Open hostilities broke out as French ships began scouting coastal settlements on the English Channel and in 1337 Philip reclaimed the Gascon fief, citing feudal law and saying that Edward had broken his oath by not attending to the needs and demands of his lord. Edward III responded by saying he was in fact the rightful heir to the French throne, and on All Saints' Day, Henry Burghersh, Bishop of Lincoln, arrived in Paris with the defiance of the king of England. War had been declared.

How long did the 100 Years War last?
116 years (misleading name, I know). And technically it was a series of wars as there were hundreds of peace treaties that took place including a country called Burgundy changing sides.
The Hundred Years War devastated France. The war itself, as well as the destruction caused by the fighting, as well as famine, plague, and general lawlessness destroyed the French countryside. The nobility in France was destroyed. That allowed Louis XI to unite the country behind him, freed from the troubles of resistant, power-hungry nobles. England, on the other hand, with its defeats at the hands of Joan of Arc, was finished as a continental power. England began to increase her naval power as a result of this land decline.
The Hundred Years War marked the beginning of the end of the feudal system. Military changes, such as the end of heavy cavalry (knights) due to new weapons such as gunpowder weapons, and the rebirth of standing armies, marked some of the major differences brought about by this war. The major military changes and the decline in power of the nobility and also the fall of the Byzantine Empire, which existed for more than a thousand years from approximately 306 AD, occurred in the same year(1453 AD) which was a major cause many historians to consider this period of time the end of the Middle Ages.

How did the European governments change as a result of the Hundred Year's War?
It gave the birth of the nation-statehood. The people at the beginning of the war were loyal to their feudal regardless of his native language. Hundred years later, people became aware that the loyalty to the state must coincide with the language. Beside France and UK, other states fighting wars at the same era actually utilized on nationalistic fever at the 15th century. Another product of the warfare was the end of traditional medieval knighthood as the main fighting force of the era. The chivalry became obsolete and infective against gun powder weapons. The end of the 100 Year left France unified but utterly devastated; UK isolated from European mainstream, and large cities of the northern Italy independent from direct interference from the France.

There is some confusion about this. Arc appears to have been her family surname, not a location, unlike say, Isabella of Castile ( a real Lady Knight-general rank- a Queen in armor!). Arc is not a province of France like Lorraine ( which she is often associated with- the cross of Lorraine) - so maybe it was just her last name, like Robert De La Salle, the explorer- Robert of the Hall, or in simpler form, Robert Hall, yes the clothing chain name in his honor- from Detroit.
