The Hundred Years' War was fought for more than a hundred years.

The story behind the answer

True. The Hundred Years’ War between England and France ran from 1337 to 1453—about 116 years. It wasn’t nonstop battle but a series of campaigns, sieges, and truces sparked by a dynastic dispute over the French crown and control of French territories held by English kings.

Famous episodes include English longbow victories at Crécy (1346) and Agincourt (1415), and France’s resurgence with Joan of Arc, culminating in a French win. The war accelerated the decline of knightly cavalry, the rise of professional armies and gunpowder weapons, and the growth of English and French national identities. Memory tip: despite the name,
