The English were able to defeat the French in early battles due to a combination of superior military tactics, particularly the effective use of the longbow, which allowed them to strike from a distance before the French could engage in close combat. Additionally, the English forces often employed disciplined formations and took advantage of the terrain to offset their smaller numbers. The French, on the other hand, were often hampered by outdated strategies and internal divisions, which made their army less effective in early engagements. These factors contributed to key English victories during conflicts such as the Hundred Years' War.

After defeating a small group of French soldiers in the Ohio Valley, the English militia built Fort Necessity. This fort, constructed in 1754, was part of the early skirmishes that contributed to the onset of the French and Indian War. Although the outpost was a strategic move, it ultimately fell to the French during a subsequent battle.
Regiment is a french word which became commonly used in the military in Europe in the early sixteenth century. It originated from late latin regimentum.
The famous regiment brought to the English from the French is the "Grenadier Guards." Established in the early 18th century, this regiment was inspired by the French Grenadiers, elite soldiers known for their distinctive tall bearskin hats and exceptional combat skills. The Grenadier Guards have since become one of the most recognized regiments in the British Army, known for their ceremonial duties and historical significance.
