Detailed explanation-1: -The Hundred Years’ War was a long struggle between England and France over succession to the French throne. It lasted from 1337 to 1453, so it might more accurately be called the “116 Years’ War.” The war starts off with several stunning successes on Britain’s part, and the English forces dominate France for decades.
Detailed explanation-2: -When did the Hundred Years’ War start? By convention, the Hundred Years’ War is said to have started on May 24, 1337, with the confiscation of the English-held duchy of Guyenne by French King Philip VI.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first phase of the Hundred Years’ War between France and England lasted from 1337 to 1360. It is sometimes referred to as the Edwardian War because it was initiated by King Edward III of England, who claimed the French throne in defiance of King Philip VI of France.
