After a long time of searching I cant find out the outcome of the Hundred Years' War.?

Question

who won the Hundred Year's War? Was there really a victor or was it disputed, and if so what were the terms between the English and French? For some reason I cant find this answer anywhere.

Answer 1

I'm not a big fan of Wikipedia but surely they have an article on this...

Answer 2

Plantagenet v. Valois:

Plantagenet 0:Valois 1

The house Plantagenet (Formerly Anjou FC) originally from the Anjou/Normandy region claim succession to the essentially vacant French throne (as well as the english throne), as do the more essentially French Valois.

Round 1: Edwardian War (1337-1360)

Good period for the Plantagenets we win Crécy+Poitiers gaining us the bordeaux/gascony regions and nord pas de calais, capture the French king and force the Valois to sign a peace treaty (Treaty of Brétigny).

Round 2: Caroline wars (1369-1389)

Charles V comes right out and kicks england back the gascony coast, where it sits until the british can work out their succession problems (after the death of Edward III the plantagenets had no direct claim).

Round 3: Lancastrian war (1415-1429)

Henry  V returns to normandy and executes a series of highly successful battles - Agincourt, Fresnay, Cravant and Verneuil (the 'second agincourt'). Some french successes at La Brossiniere and Baugé. All in all england now control most of north and central france - brittany, normany, flanders, champagne and burgundy in the south.

Round 4 - Jean d'Arc etc.

The French abandon their defensive, cautious tactics and proceed to cause h**l for the british: patay, orleans, paris and rheims. By 1453 the british only held Calais.

In short, it was a bit of back and forth, before the English being almost completely expelled: In short, they lost. Or rather, we lost. Bugger.

Answer 3

Technically it was the french, but it wasn't as if they were going to rule england because of it. They actually fought for about 120 years, on and off. To this day, they tend not to like each other because of it. "Bloody frogs!"

However, it was not the only time that they were on opposing sides in a conflict. They had been adversaries for centuries. Still are, kind of.

Answer 4

Any long wars do not have any results. It is always loss on bothe side.
