The French decided to declare war on the English primarily due to longstanding territorial disputes and claims over lands in France, particularly the Duchy of Aquitaine. Tensions escalated as the English monarch, Edward III, asserted his right to the French throne, challenging the legitimacy of the French King, Philip VI. Additionally, economic factors, such as control over trade routes and resources, further fueled hostilities. This culmination of political and territorial grievances ultimately led to the outbreak of the Hundred Years' War in 1337.
In constitutional monarchies, the queen typically does not have the authority to unilaterally decide when to go to war; such decisions are usually made by elected officials and require parliamentary approval. However, in absolute monarchies, a queen may have the power to declare war. Ultimately, the specific powers depend on the country's constitution and legal framework.
