The obstacles faced were- After the Hundred Year's War, France was depopulated, commercially ruined, and agriculturally weak and feudal disorder prevailed.

Charles VII strengthened the monarchy by creating a royal army and this gained security throughout France. He also reconstructed the Burgundian and Armagnac.

His successors also promoted new industries which gave them more money and expanded the royal authority by gaining territories like- Anjou, Bar, Maine and Provence.
