Why did Great Britain and France fight in the conflict?

France and England have had numerous conflicts throughout history. Their conflict really began in 987 A. D, as soon as the last carolingian king of France died.

Hugh Capet, a French nobleman, was chosen as a king. France was ruled by the Capetians for more than 300 years. From 1035-1328 feudal lords began gaining more land.

The English owned some of those lands. After William of Normandy conquered England, the conflict began to rise. During the third Crusade Philip II of France and Richard the Lion Heart began to quarrel.

So, Philip II took the French army home. He took control of English lands, whilst Richard stayed and fought and signed a peace treaty with the Muslims in Jerusalem. Then, it began, the hundered years war.

It lasted from 1337 to 1453. Remember how I said that England had some lands in France? Since France was led by a feudal system, it meant that the nobleman with more lands could rule France.

And king Edward III had two large lands in France, Gascony and Aquitaine which made him a vassal of the king. As I said earlier, France was ruled by the Capetians at that time.(descendants of Hugh Capet). The last of the Capetians died.

France had no ruler. Edward seized the French throne. The French did not want him, however.

They wanted Philip VI, instead. So, Edward brought his army to Flanders, a city north of France, and west of the Holy Roman Empire. This marked the beginning of the hundered years war.

The war ended with England losing all the lands it had owned in France. The conflict continued on and off between England and France until the diplomatic Revolution, and the seven years war, and so on.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
