The above is the correct timeline and duration. It was a conflict between France and England. It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne and was punctuated by several brief and two lengthy periods of peace before it finally ended in the expulsion of the English from France, with the exception of the Calais Pale. 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, (1429-1453). The term "Hundred Years' War" was a later historical term invented by historians to describe the series of events.

The Hundred Years War is really a misnomer, given by 19th century historians to the series of wars between England and France.
The wars that come under this heading, together with the periods of peace (or at least of non-fighting) that interspersed it, actually lasted for 116 years.

To beautifulmind, 'the Hundred Years' War refers to the wars between England and France from 1337-1453, not the wars between Rome (why do you misspell that) and Carthage (can be spelled different ways) which lasted from 264-146 BC. Those are referred to as the Punic Wars.
