About “The Hundred Years' War 1337–1453”

The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between the kingdoms of England and France, and a civil war in France, during the late Middle Ages, arising from feudal disputes over the Duchy of Aquitaine and ignited by Edward III of England's claim to the French throne. The war spanned approximately 116 years and involved broader military, economic, and political struggles across Western Europe, driven by emerging nationalism on both sides, though it was marked by frequent interruptions due to events such as the Black Death and periods of truce.
