The second class is world history and society, which is Soichiro Kuzuki's class.

The people's teacher is also a master in the Five Wars, but he is not a magician, so he has no way to provide magic to Caster.

Fortunately, Caster's own magic power is very strong, and he does not need him to provide it. When Caster was desperate, he was saved by Soichiro Kuzuki, and Medea fell in love with this man.

Speaking of Saber falling in love with Shirou, or Shirou falling in love with Saber, they are not the first to try.

Medea and the people's teacher are obviously ahead of the times. In the Fantasy Carnival, these two guys gave up the Holy Grail in the Holy Grail War and went out for a honeymoon. They are simply winners in life!

After Teacher Kuzuki came in, he retreated and took a look at the classroom number and found that he had not walked into the wrong classroom.

But why are the seats in this classroom connected together?

After Yanagido Issei spoke, everyone stopped being polite to each other and moved their desks together, so that the boys could be closer to the girls they liked, and the girls could chat about gossip with their friends, so the whole classroom was about to become a square.

Teacher Kuzuki frowned. He was a meticulous person and took everything very seriously. If this happened in his class, he would definitely stop it, but he was not the homeroom teacher of Shirou's class. If he rashly intervened in this matter, it might cause dissatisfaction from Fujimura Taiga, after all, she was the homeroom teacher of this class.

Thinking of this, Teacher Kuzuki did not speak.

He went up to the stage meticulously, greeted the students, and then began to teach seriously.

"The course we are going to talk about today is the Hundred Years' War between France and England. Last time, I asked the students to go back and look up the relevant information. I wonder if the students have gained anything. Now let me check it out!"The reason why Mr. Kuzuki is respected by everyone is that, in addition to his seriousness, there is another very important reason that he is very strict with his students, and he is also the kind of person who always keeps his word.

He will not forget what he said, and he will definitely execute it. Such a guy is simply a nightmare for students, so in the entire Huiqunyuan Academy, he has always been the most awe-inspiring existence.

Shirou was slightly relieved when he heard him mention the Hundred Years' War between England and France.

He was really unfamiliar with this period of history before, but now, after going down with Bai Zhen After going to the French copy, he knew a lot about this period of history.

As a French person, Black Jeanne was naturally not vague about this period of history, and she must be very clear about it, so it was basically no problem for her to be called upon to answer questions. Saber, on the other hand, her history was eight or nine hundred years earlier than this war. After such a long time, she probably didn't have much impression of this period of history, right?

This made Shirou a little worried.

Kuzuki Soichiro himself was very powerful, so his vision and hearing were very sensitive. He heard Shirou's sigh just now, so he naturally looked at Shirou.

"Shirou Emiya, please tell us about the knowledge and opinions about the Hundred Years War!"

People are always more interested in the target they pay attention to, and after he asked this question, there were more than 30 choices in front of him. Shirou was only one in 30, and the chance of being selected was not great. However, the voice from Shirou made him notice Shirou, and then he was selected.

Shirou stood up calmly. What's so difficult about the Hundred Years War?

"The war between England and France in the Middle Ages was called the Hundred Years' War because it lasted for more than a hundred years. The cause of the incident was that King Philip of France asked Edward to take back the territory of Aquitaine, which triggered the Anglo-French War that lasted for more than a century.

Faced with Philip's territorial demands, King Edward of England flatly refused and launched an aggressive offensive against France.

In 1337, the British army crossed the English Channel, arrived in Brussels, and began to attack the European continent, while the French army also crossed the English Channel to the Isle of Wight and began to attack Southampton.

While the British army resisted, they continued to put pressure on the French army on the European battlefield.

From then on, the two sides kicked off the prelude to the war.

……"Shirou walked to the podium, picked up the chalk, and explained while talking and drawing, like a history teacher who had been preparing for a long time.

The

Hundred Years' War lasted for a long time. The cause was that the French wanted to take back the territories controlled by the British. These territories were conquered in France by Charles I, the Lionheart of England, when he led his army to participate in the Crusades. At that time, France was not a unified country, so the British believed that these territories were their own. The

French, on the road to gradual national integration and nation-building, naturally could not tolerate a British army stationed on their territory, so the contradictions between the two sides began to break out, and this led to this war.

It is hard to say who provoked this war, because in the same year, both sides sent their own troops to each other's territory. From this point of view, it can be said that the two sides have long had a tacit understanding, that is, they both want to strike first!

However, the strength comparison between Britain and France at that time was obviously very unfavorable to France.

In the early days of the Capetian dynasty, the territory directly controlled by the French royal family was limited to the area between the Seine and the Loire Rivers.

The major duchies and counties relied on their power to secede, just like independent kingdoms.

During the reign of Philip IV (1286-1314), he strengthened the administration and rectified the army.

He clashed with the Pope because he insisted on collecting taxes from the church.

At this time, France was in constant war, and its economic and military strength were very weak.

In addition, it was still at the end of the Crusades, so the church had a great influence on France.

A large number of knights who participated in the Crusades returned to France.

These knights were well-equipped and had strong combat strength.

They were scattered or lived in groups throughout France, becoming a major concern for France. Among them, the famous Knights Templar was one of them.

In 1139, the Knights Templar were confirmed by Pope Innocent II in an encyclical. Politically, the Knights Templar were only responsible to the Pope, and no other secular regime had the right to command it. Economically, the Knights Templar not only enjoyed the privilege of tax exemption, but also had the right to collect tithes on their own territory. In this way, the Knights Templar was inserted into France by the Pope and became a nail in France. So the

French were of course restless. In 1307, they secretly arrested many senior members of the Knights Templar, and then sent troops to start clearing out the Knights Templar in various parts of the country.

This further triggered civil unrest in France, and when Philip VI succeeded to the throne, he wanted to unify France, eliminate the separatist regimes in various places, and become the only king of France.

But to accomplish this step, he needed a strong prestige, so he asked the King of England for territory. He originally wanted to enhance his prestige and lay the foundation for calming the domestic war, but he didn't expect to provoke the powerful Britain.

The two sides had a back-and-forth in the first five years of the war. The French, who were holding their breath, launched a large number of troops, and the British did not gain much advantage.

However, wars between countries are often fought on comprehensive national strength, and Britain's national strength is of course much stronger than France.

In August 1346, the British army won a great victory in the Battle of Crécy on land, and then besieged the French coastal fortress of Calais. 11 months later, they successfully occupied the port, thus completely cutting off the possibility of the French army going out to sea to threaten the British mainland. Without any worries, the British army began to cross the English Channel and came to France.

After the defeat of the Battle of Calais in 1347, the French King Philip VI, who was defeated in the Battle of Crécy, had no choice but to surrender to the British. This led to the French army being completely passive for the next hundred years and no longer having any offensive capabilities until the appearance of Joan of Arc!
