The Hundred Years' War

The Hundred Years' War was a long conflict between England and France from 1337 to 1453. Despite its name, it lasted 116 years, with long periods of peace in between. The war involved battles, sieges and the rise of new weapons such as cannons.

Joan of Arc became famous for leading French forces during the war, and she helped turn the tide against the English. The war changed the political map of Europe and helped shape the identities of both England and France.
