Since the 15th century, I have decided to post events not by 200 years, but by 100, as their number begins to increase at a tremendous pace . Yes, and over the centuries it will be easier to systematize information. As for the 15th century, the following events can be distinguished in it:the continuation and end of the hundred-year war between France and England, the liberation of Orleans by Joan of Arc and its burning, the activities of Jan Hus in the Czech Republic and the subsequent Hussite wars, the beginning of the era of great geographical discoveries. Also at this time, the first book in Europe (the Bible) was printed, the Byzantine Empire fell, the War of the Scarlet and White Roses in England died down.
