Peasant girl who led french army to victory over the english in the 100 year's war

• A. Quran
• B. Joan of Arc
• C. Jihad
• D. Tariq

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is recognizing a pivotal figure who, as a peasant girl, galvanized French troops and helped turn the tide in the Hundred Years’ War. That figure is Joan of Arc. From Domrémy, she claimed visions from saints urging her to support Charles VII and drive the English out of France. Her leadership boosted morale, and she appeared with royal-backed troops during the critical campaign that lifted the siege of Orléans in 1429. That victory opened the path for Charles VII to be crowned at Reims, signaling a major turning point in the war. Her story shows how belief, legitimacy, and inspirational leadership can influence medieval warfare as much as tactics on the field. The other terms listed aren’t connected to this event or to a person who led French forces in the Hundred Years’ War.
