How do you explain the turning point in the war that came with the advent of Joan of Arc?

In France, on the eve of Jeanne’s appearance, there was a legend that a woman would destroy France, and a virgin would save her. Everyone blamed and knew the woman – this is Isabella of Bavaria, but the girl was expected. the people, so to speak, were mentally prepared for the arrival of the “maiden from the oak forest,” as it sounded in the prophecy.

At the trial, she stated that she did not know about this prophecy, and she was guided only by patriotic feelings and a desire to save France.

After the successes of Jeanne at Orleans and the coronation of the Dauphin in Reims, the patriotic and fighting spirit of the French rose significantly, and this was a fundamental turning point in the war with the British. She returned hope to the French, because it was not in vain that her motto became “Who believes in me, follow me!”

The young girl, by her personal example, by her death, proved that there is nothing more important than the freedom and independence of your Motherland.
