It's technically considered a war, as war was declared, and it ended when peace was declared. (I think the parties involved forgot they were at war!)|||hundred year war|||The Hundred Year war between England and France in the Middle Ages.|||The Three Hundred and Thirty Five Years' War (1651鈥?986) was a war between the Netherlands and the Isles of Scilly (located off the southwest coast of the United Kingdom). It is said to have been extended by the lack of a peace treaty for 335 years without a single shot being fired, which would make it one of the world's longest wars and the war with the fewest casualties. Despite the uncertain validity of the declaration of war, peace was finally declared in 1986.|||The hundred years war between England and France,Agincourt and all that.|||haha, the kind-of war i have with my friends :P|||Yes, that is absolutely true.

http://www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hundred鈥?/a>|||The longest continuous war was the THIRTY YEARS WAR (1618-1648), involving various European countries.


The HUNDRED YEARS WAR (between England and France) actually lasted 116 years--1337 to 1453.


The longest , most unpopular war for the USA was the VIET NAM WAR (1955-1973): the first US advisors sent to S. Viet Nam (to help support their government from collapsing) arrived in 1955; the first combat-ready troops arrived in 1965 and until Jan. 1973, when the cease-fire was signed, over 2 MILLION US troops served over there. Of these, some 58.226 troops were killed (their names are etched in the black granite wall in Washington DC, including my cousin's), another 304,000 were wounded, 3-4 million Vietnamese on either side were killed, 1.5 to 2 million Laotian and Cambodian troops were drawn into the "conflict" (as it was known), and the financial cost to the US alone was $150 BILLION. The last American to get out of VietNam before Hanoi's government took over occurred in April 1975. There were probably thousands of half-American children left behind over there because their fathers were either killed or they didn't care about them. Vietnam veterans are still fighting today to get the respect other US veterans got in other wars, as well as needed medical care, affordable housing, etc.|||THE 100 YEARS WAR....





It took 116 years to end.|||The "Battle of the Sexes" since time immemorial
