Who fought in the Hundred Years' War?

The short answer is England and France, it started in 1337 when Edward III of England claimed he had a right to the French throne. Edward and decided to go to war to become king of France. I say that is the short answer because at that time 'France' was not a country as we recognise it today- it was a collection of duchies and regions that (usually) followed a king in Paris. Often the princes and dukes would fight each other and the King. For example in the latter half of the war Henry V took advantage of a massive civil war in France between to rival landed families. Random fact for you: most historians agree that the war atuallly lasted 116 years not 100!

How did England get involved in World War 1?

England were sticking up for france! To be more precise, England declared war on Germany and Austria when the Germans landed on Belgium soil. Belgium was under a treaty from England saying that England will protect Belgium whenever enemy enters the Belgian borders...and since England is allies with France and it was already involved in the war England declared war back to Germany The main reason for this alliances. Germany had tried to isolate France by making alliances with other countries; however they forgot to renew the treaty, so Russia left them. England signed the Entente Cordiale with France and later Russia joined in and it became the triple Entente. At this point Germany also formed an alliance with Italy and Austria-Hungary; this was the Triple alliance. When Germany kept bullying France, England warned Germany that we would go to war them.
