The Hundred Years' War was primarily between France and England.

• A. France and England
• B. France and Spain
• C. England and Scotland
• D. France and Italy

Answer: (A)

Two medieval kingdoms fought over who could claim the French throne and control lands in France. The Hundred Years’ War began around 1337, when Edward III of England asserted his right to the French crown, sparking a long series of campaigns that stretched into the mid-15th century. The central struggle was between France and England, not between France and Spain, England and Scotland as the main belligerents, or France and Italy. Scotland did ally with France at times, but the primary conflict was between the two great powers of western Europe—France and England.
