Then it’s 48 times total without civil wars and just standard wars, you said 30-40? But what’s the exact for Britain?
Edit: I missed the 16th century wars
Wiki for Britain vs France is 35.
Though some of these don’t really seem like wars so I’m not sure how reliable this is, few other sites give me 16 which definitely seems wrong and then another is 41 which seems more close but a few “wars” are more so political
If I remember the Hundred Years war ended up being 116 years with some ceasefires in between. Hence how we end up with disputed figures on how many actual wars there were (probably)
