Question

question 1-15
how did the hundred years war affect the development of english national identity?
it caused the english to unite against the french invaders.
it led to the independence of england from the norman french.
it divided england and france into separate kingdoms for the first time.
it deepened the religious divide between protestant england and catholic france.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between England and France. Facing a common enemy (France), the English would unite, fostering national identity.
• Option 2: England was already independent from Norman French rule before the Hundred Years' War (Norman Conquest was 1066, war started 1337).
• Option 3: England and France were already separate kingdoms; the war didn't create this division.
• Option 4: The Protestant Reformation started in the 16th century, while the Hundred Years' War ended in 1453, so religious division (Protestant - Catholic) wasn't a factor during the war.

Answer:

A. It caused the English to unite against the French invaders.
