It began in May 1337 until, October 1453. The Hundred Years War was a term coined in 1860's France to gather the series of battles in the mid 1300's to mid 1400's over territory in France and secession to the French throne. This period actually enlisted 116 year time frame in European history.

Both France and England had the advantage of allies. England had a better navy. France had Joan of Arc, who led the French to victory over the English.

The French suffered the most because the battles were fought on French soil. The plague or " Black Death" in France was largely a result of the war.
