Joan of Arc Short Bigoraphy

Joan or Arc, Born in 1412, was a major figure French history. She was one of the reasons that France was able to win the siege of Orleans, and then, win the hundred years war.  Joan or Arc was about twelve when she was said to have been called by god to give back the land that was rightfully France' s which was now under British control due to the Hundred Years War. She then was able to get into a French military base where she was able to accurately   predict a battle near Orleans which would be later called, the siege of Orleans. She then impressed King Charles VII and she asked him if she could go to the battle herself. She went, and famously won the battle for the French. At age 19, she would be captured, sold to the English, and finally, burned at the stake. She was able to accomplish so much in such a short life and boy she changed a lot of things. If it weren't for her, France may have never won the Hundred Years War and France would look very different than what it looks today. She definitely impacted Europe on a major scale and in a positive way too.
