The Hundred Years' War was a conflict between England and France, lasting 116 years from 1337 to 1453. It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne and was punctuated by several brief periods of peace and two lasting ones before it finally ended in the expulsion of the English from France. Thus, the war was in fact a series of conflicts and is commonly divided into three or four phases: the Edwardian War (1337-1360), the Caroline War (1369-1389), the Lancastrian War (1415-1429), and the slow decline of English fortunes after the appearance of Joan of Arc. The term "Hundred Years' War" was given afterward.

IT started in 1341 when the English intervened in France in favor of a pretender to the French throne called Jean de Montfort and ended in 1453 when French king Charles VII won the battle of Castillon and killed Talbot. In october, the city of Bordeaux capitulates and the Brits left France for ever never to return. They came back in the XXth century by buying real estate all over the South of France but it is more pacific and friendly. We can tolerate them now even if they buy the best places, the best restaurants and start to serve their awful English food. My Goodness !!!
