Answer:

greater feeling of nationalism! another thing during taxes and death increased as well but the aftermath was the.whole nationalism side.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's some bullet points I found of the affects all in one! hope it helps!

  • The loss of all English-held territory in France except Calais.

  • A high number of casualties amongst the nobility, particularly in France.

  • A decline in trade, especially English wool and Gascon wine.

  • A great wave of taxes to pay for the war which contributed to social unrest in both countries.

  • Innovations in forms of tax collection.

  • The development of a stronger Parliament in England.

  • The almost total bankruptcy of the English treasury at the war’s end.

  • The disagreement over the conduct of the war and its failure fuelled the dynastic conflict in England known as the Wars of the Roses (1455-1487 CE).

  • The devastation of French towns and villages by mercenary soldiers between battles.

  • Developments in weapons technology such as cannons.

  • The consolidation of the French monarch’s control over all of France.

  • A greater use of international diplomacy and specialised diplomats.

  • A greater feeling of nationalism amongst the populations of both countries.

  • The creation of national heroes, notably Henry V in England and Joan of Arc in France.

  • A tangible rivalry between the two nations which still continues today, seen particularly in sports such as football and rugby.
