text_original: France underwent horrible convulsions during this period ; but the dawn of better things began with the inspiring career of Joan of Arc and with the administrative reforms of the reign of Charles VII. Spain was still non existent by 1453 ; but the prolonged war against the Moors had given to the various kingdoms of the penin  sula such a community of interests and general character as facilitated their later union.
