How long did the Hundred Years War between England and France actually last?
Correct Answer: 116 years
Despite its name, the Hundred Years War between England and France lasted 116 years — from 1337 to 1453. The war was fought over English monarchs' claims to the French throne and consisted of a series of conflicts and truces.
Key events included the English victories at Crécy (1346), Poitiers (1356) and Agincourt (1415) under King Henry V. The war ended with English forces being expelled from France. The legendary French heroine Joan of Arc played a crucial role in rallying French forces before being captured and executed by the English in 1431.
