The Hundred Years' War.
-- "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." -- Albert Einstein (1879-1955) "The belief in a supernatural source of evil is not necessary; men alone are quite capable of every wickedness." -- Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. --Steven Weinberg(1933- )

Oh sure! quote the Hunert Yeurs Wur why dontcha! :p :o But! You guys maybe didn't READ the first couple sentences of that wikipedia entry maybe? :confused: The Hundred Years' War is the name modern historians give to what was actually a series of related conflicts fought over a 116-year period between the Kingdom of England and France, beginning in 1337 and ending in 1453. Historians group these conflicts under the same label for convenience. The "Hunert Yurs Wur" is a series of related kawnflickts, that are grouped under the same label for kawnveniunce. The "Kureen Wur" is "WUHN WUR," which has never officially come to an end And I _still_ reckon that it is "the longest war" ever, though not the longest period of continuous hostilities between two social entities which make claims of sovereignty, depending on how you wanna define "hostilities." Vietnam might be pretty high on that list, as well as the Punic Wars, and also some of them "Hunert Year Kawnflickts." back in 'ol Yurrup.

-Could you talk like that forever? It's quite a cute and cuddly way of talking .

Cute and _cuddly_!? THAT is supposed to be my jar head southerner drill instructor accent!? ( . . . think Full Metal Jacket, or Apocalypse Now) . . . Connoting a kind of Americo-centric fog in which all of human history prior to the American Revolution was nothing but a prelude to _real_ story of civlization. But seriously, anyone know how long the longest period of continuous conflict during the 100 Years War was? It is a trivial but interesting question, no? I suppose technically Korea IS still at War, and guys do periodically get toasted in firefights and such, but one has to wonder if there really IS any significance to such hairsplitting, or if it has some true importance to the human condition?
