What is the Hundred Years War?
The Hundred Years War is the name given to the long struggle between England and France which started in 1338 and ended 1453. The hundred years was actually lasted for 116 years! The English kings had to pay homage to the French kings for being appointed Dukes of Aquitaine. They did not like to do this. Matters turned serious when Philip VI took over Edward, the King of England’s land in France, and thus, war began. The major events in this war include the battle on the river Sluys in 1340.
