The "Second Hundred Years' War" (c. 1689 - c. 1815) is a periodization or historical era term used by some historians〔Buffinton, Arthur H. ''"The Second Hundred Years' War, 1689-1815"''. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1929. 〕〔Crouzet, Francois. "The Second Hundred Years War: Some Reflections", article in ''"French History"'', 10. (1996), pp. 432-450. 〕〔Scott, H. M. Review: ''"The Second 'Hundred Years War"'' 1689-1815", article in ''"The Historical Journal"'', 35, (1992), pp. 443-469. 〕 to describe the series of military conflicts between Great Britain and France that occurred from about 1689 (or some say 1714) to 1815. The term itself seems to describe the so-called ancient "Britain-French Rivalry" which has begun since the 14th-Century. The term appears to have been coined by J. R. Seeley in his influential work ''The Expansion of England: Two Courses of Lectures'' (1883).〔Morieux, Renaud: "Diplomacy from Below and Belonging: Fishermen and Cross-Channel Relations in the Eighteenth Century" article in ''"Past & Present"'', 202, (2009), p. 83.〕 ==Background== Like the Hundred Years' War, this term does not describe a single military event but a persistent general state of war between the two primary belligerents. The use of the phrase as an overarching category indicates the interrelation of all the wars as components of the rivalry between France and Britain for world power. It was a war between and over the future of each state's colonial empires. The two countries remained continual antagonists even as their national identities underwent significant evolution. Great Britain was not a single state until 1707, prior to which it was the separate kingdoms of England and Scotland, albeit with a shared Crown and military establishment. In 1801, Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland to form the United Kingdom. The period also saw France under the Bourbon dynasty, the regimes of the French Revolution and the First Empire. The various wars between the two states during the 18th century usually involved other European countries in large alliances; except for the War of the Quadruple Alliance when they were bound by the Anglo-French Alliance, France and Britain always opposed one another. Some of the wars, such as the Seven Years' War, have been considered world wars and included battles in the growing colonies in India, the Americas, and ocean shipping routes around the globe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Second Hundred Years' War」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
