The Hundred Years War was started over a dispute between England and France over who ruled France. The French king at the time had died, and no male heir was still living. The English king at the time claimed that he was distantly related and should get the throne. A dispute started over whether or not England should really have France, and the war began as a way to settle the dispute.

The Hundred Years' War was primarily caused by a dispute over the succession of the French throne. This dispute emerged after the death of the last Capetian king of France, Charles IV, in 1328. Both the French and English royal houses had competing claims to the throne, leading to a prolonged conflict that lasted from 1337 to 1453. Economic factors, territorial ambitions, and nationalistic sentiments also played a role in sustaining the war.
