War of the Hundred Years

The Hundred Years' War was a prolonged conflict between England and France from 1337 to 1453, driven by territorial disputes, claims to the French throne, and political rivalries. It was not continuous but marked by periods of warfare and peace. The war saw significant battles, the rise of national identities, and changes in military technology, such as the use of longbows. It ultimately led to the decline of feudalism, strengthened the power of the French monarchy, and shaped the future of European nation-states.
