Where did Napoleon plan the hundred days war?
The short answer was that he didn't. Napoleon, while imprisoned on Elba, was not far away from the continent of mainland Europe which he had dominated for the past 2 decades. On resuming power in Paris he decided his best option was to attack his enemies piecemeal, Britain, Prussia, Austria & Russia. & while he might well have defeated any of these foes in single combat, if two join together.... he meets his Waterloo..........It doesnt really amount to much to blame Grouchy for the defeat there, Napoleon was the Emperor, Napoleon gets the spoils....the 'what ifs' of the campaign, a splendid vignette of 3 months culminating in 1 day of tremendous carnage, are too nemerous to consider briefly. Put succinctly the British were too good in dogged defence to be defeated by the crude frontal assault that the Emperor used on the day. 'They came on in the old style....' & Wellington admitted he was never so near to defeat. If Blucher does not appear at Waterloo then all else does not apply...Previously Ney had had chances at Quatre Bras & Napoleon at Ligny needed to be sure of where the beaten Prussians had retreated to. From the point of view of the French both of these combats sow the seeds of defeat for the French, but it was undoubtedly a close run thing..........

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 the hundred year war start-?
The Hundred Year's War was fought for territorial control within France and England. France's nights and nobles were all strapped for money after the Black Death had taken it's toll on Europe.
King Philip IV of France had invaded the English province called Guienne. England's King, Edward III responded by saying that he was the rightful king of France, because his mother was the daughter of Philip IV, the fair (ruler earlier in the century.
Another very real reason of the conflict was the vassal status of the English dominions in France, reaffirmed by the treaty of Paris of 1259. Indeed no king of France seemed to be happy noticing how large the portion of the French land occupied and ruled by an English monarch was and no king of England could happily accept to do feudal homage to another monarch whom he regarded as his equal. Furthermore, to worsen the matter, there were two type of feudal homage to do:
the simple homage with which, for example, the King of England but officially only as Duke of Aquitaine, acknowledged to be vassal of the King of France and paid homage for, or
the "full homage", with which the King of England paid homage, as vassal to the King of France and acknowledged the King of France to be the suzerain of the Duchy of Aquitaine .
The first one would had been generally accepted by the English Kings.
The second one would had been generally claimed by the French King, giving then the young Edward III enough ground to officially open the hostility, supported by other
more or less justified reasons.
A:
War was the natural order between medieval factions. The Nobility was born raised and lived for war. The best oppurtunity for social advancement was by distinguishing yourself in battle and earning the respect of your Lord or King.
The best oppurtunity for financal advancement was capturing a rival noble and selling him for ransom or possibly being granted more land for a particuarly spectacular acheivement.
If a Country wasn't at war with Another Country the Nobles would find ways to fight against each other, or worse against the King himself, so it was far better for Kings to find other people to fight against than allow their Knights to get bored at home.
The position decribed above had been an issue since the Normans had invaded England. Although the conquest of England gave the Normans a huge amount of land and power it was very difficult to control because it spread at times from the North of Scotland to the Spanish borders of Southern France.
For a long time the Normans divided their possesions between themselves with one son taking the titles of Normandy and Anjou and another the crown of England. Whenever one man tried to rule overall he would be attacked from France if he was occupied in England or by Scotalnd if he was occupied in France, evenually being pressed from both sides. Dividing the territory made the Normans individually weaker than the French and obliged to pay homage, uniting the territory made it impossible to control and defend, expanding it further as happened during the series of these wars, made the situation even worse. The more land the English controlled, the weaker that control became If your control over your territory was weak then someone who thoought they were stronger would attack you.
