Answer:

The correct answer is England

Step-by-step explanation:

The War of Roses was a civil war that intermittently pitted the members and supporters of the House of Lancaster against those of the House of York between 1455 and 1487. Both families pretended the throne of England, by common origin in the House of Plantagenet, as descendants of King Edward III. The name "war of the Roses", is in reference to the emblems of both houses, the white rose of York and the red of Lancaster.

The war of the Two Roses caused the extinction of the Plantagenets and greatly weakened the ranks of the nobility, in addition to generating great social discontent. This period marked the decline of English influence on the European continent, the weakening of the feudal powers of the nobles. In return, the growth in influence of merchants and the centralized monarchy under the Tudors. This war marks the end of the English Middle Ages and the beginning of the Renaissance.
