“The truth about [Joan of Arc] is at one and the same time more straightforward and more strange. She was, as she said, an unlettered country girl with a message for her king. She meddled in the machinery of state till its heavy cogs caught and crushed her.”

John Holland Smith, Joan of Arc (1973)

Why did the 100 Years War happen? Well its simple! King Charles IV died without a son so the crown passed to his first cousin Phillip de Valois, but Charles's nephew by his sister Isabella, King Edward III of England, argued that by English succession law, he would get the crown not Phillip. While that was technically in England, it was the French crown, so French succession law was used and Edward had to use war to enforce that claim, thus sparking a century of sporadic wars based off Edward's claim to the French throne through English right.

This (forced) succession crisis is incredibly complicated for how dumb it is so you should be thanking me for simplifying it to "English Law said one guy and French Law said another and the English guy declared war about it."

This house is in Domremy, now in the county of Lorraine, France. It is the sturdy, handsome home of a comparatively well-to-do peasant family. Jeanne, known as Jehanette in her village, was relatively comfortable compared to many of her neighbors.

As much as I want to be a wholly joyous about the fact that Henry Kissinger is finally fucking dead, as he deserves... There's a lot of me that can't help being upset with. With the fact that he lived to 100 years old. He got better medical care, better housing, and a better, more stable life for those 100 years than billions on this planet ever going to see and he did it specifically through exploitation, state sanctioned murder, and lies. He lived to 100 years comfortably on a legacy of violence that rarely threatened his personal comfort. I want to be joyous that he's finally dead, because the world IS better with him dead, but the reality is he won a long time ago.

The ending of the war on terror in 2021, with the United States withdrawing from Afghanistan after 20 years of war, marks a massive change in the United States foreign policy and how they will fight wars and implement their strategic goals

The ending of the war on terror in 2021, with the United States withdrawing from Afghanistan after 20 years of war, marks a massive change in the United States foreign policy and how they will fight wars and implement their strategic goals for at least the next ten years. The USA has lost in terms of the general public the political will and social will to engage in conflicts like Afghanistan…
