What should I know already? Technology and warfare
When William the Conqueror invaded England in 1066, he brought two innovations - mounted knights and the castles. . In Tudor/ Stuart times, the use of gunpowder with cannons and muskets changed the nature of battles. The invention of the Gatling machine gun in 1861 changed battles in favour of the defence – attackers on foot could be killed faster than they could charge.. In the First World War (1914-1918), aeroplanes and tanks were introduced. The Second World War saw the invention of the atomic bomb. This led to the horror of Hiroshima on 6 August 1945, but it also changed warfare. Key Vocabulary

Like many battles in history, it was fought because one person wanted to be king of another place. In this case, William of Normandy in France wanted to be King of England .The army from France were much better-trained than the English, and had better weapons and horses. The English army were tired from the journey and also because they had recently had a battle with a Norwegian army, whose leader wanted Harold's crown too. This marked the end of the Anglo Saxon era and beginning of the Norman era and was the last time that England was invaded and conquered.
