  The Hundred Years’ War - History...

  The Hundred Years' War was a series of prolonged and intense conflicts between the kingdoms of England and France, spanning from 1337 to 1453. At its core, the war was rooted in a bitter dispute over the French throne, which was claimed by both the English royal House of Plantagenet and the French House of Valois. This disagreement over succession became more than a dynastic struggle; it evolved into a broader geopolitical and cultural clash, drawing in various powers from across Western Europe. The war became a defining event in medieval history, fundamentally shaping the course of European politics, society, and warfare. 
  The conflict was not a single, continuous battle but a series of engagements, truces, and temporary pauses in fighting, lasting a staggering 116 years. Over five generations, English and French rulers alternated between direct conflict and negotiated ceasefires, each side hoping to gain an upper hand in the long-running struggle. The war is commonly divided into three main phases: the Edwardian War (1337–1360), the Caroline War (1369–1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415–1453). These stages were marked by shifts in momentum and power, with the English initially achieving significant victories but eventually losing their dominance in the final stages of the war. 
  One of the most significant outcomes of the Hundred Years' War was its profound impact on European warfare. Both England and France introduced new military strategies and technologies, including the use of professional standing armies and the widespread deployment of artillery. These advancements marked a dramatic shift away from the feudal levies and knightly combat that had previously defined medieval warfare. The use of the longbow by English archers, for example, proved particularly effective in the decisive Battle of Crécy in 1346, and the war’s artillery, such as cannons and siege weapons, changed the way battles were fought.

  The Carousel of Indignation and...

  Conflicts have accompanied mankind since time immemorial, and for almost as long people have been trying to limit and deal with them – whether as those affected by them or as professionals with more or less success. For once a system of conflict has developed, once negative expectation structures and with them negative self-evident truths and inherent laws have developed, it becomes increasingly difficult for those involved to escape them: The complexity of our social world, in which it is not easy for communication to find its way, remains unseen. A violated sense of justice, misunderstandings and unfortunate attempts to correct them alternate. One begins to attribute the causes of the conflict to the "person" ("It's you! It's your fault!") and to attribute negative motives to the conflict partner ("You're only doing this because ...!"), who in turn does the same – just like a carousel that slowly gets going. A number of well-studied but little-known psychological processes occur within us when we are in conflict. Outrage at the other person grows, usually unfortunately on both sides. Slowly, the "carousel of outrage and indignation" begins to spin - faster and faster, until...
  The book places the various psychological mechanisms in the context of a systemic understanding of conflict and explains ways to slow down the carousel.

  Children’s future successes depend on developing the abilities to innovate, be resilient in the face of their mistakes, problem-solve creatively, and collaborate with peers effectively. However, standard American educational practices—stressing memorization, grades, and testing—are failing to foster these skills. There is one complete system of education that effectively supports the natural development of such essential abilities: Montessori. Montessori education expert Paula Lillard Preschlack offers a clear explanation of how the Montessori approach helps children. By looking closely at authentic Montessori practices, she shows the tight correlation between the Montessori system in action and children practicing and strengthening the very traits they will need for adulthood.
