Question 04 - FGV-SP 2013 - Hundred Years' War - Name given to a series of conflicts that took place between France and England in the period 1337-1475. The term, which has been considered inappropriate, is a modern creation of 19th century historians, introduced in school textbooks. (...) Some historians have even proposed that the expression “one hundred years of war” be used instead of the traditional one. (Antônio Carlos do Amaral Azevedo, Dictionary of names, terms and historical concepts apud Luiz Koshiba, History:origins, structures and processes) About this war, it is correct to say that a) it resulted directly from the so-called Crisis of the 14th Century, because England and France had divergent interpretations of the economic paralysis that had hit Western Europe since the early years of this century. b) resulted from the immediate reaction of France, allied with the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon, to the economic and military alliance between England and Portugal, initiating the bloodiest military conflict in modern Europe. c) it took place almost entirely in French territory, with battles interspersed with truces and periods of peace, and its origins are linked to the succession to the French throne, also disputed by England. d) derived from the dispute over territories recently discovered by the French in North Africa, but which were strategic for the expansion of the English economy, already producing manufactured goods. e) developed in the context of religious reforms, forcing each European nation to position itself in the defense or not of the papacy, the main factor in the war between the French and the British.
