People would struggle to answer because "which side do you support in the hundred years war" is the wrong question. A better question would be "do you support the social structures (e.g. nationalism, monarchy, etc.) that contributed to the hundred years war".
Or stated another way, the premise implied by your question is incorrect. Its perfectly possible that both England and France were on the wrong side of history.
- grandempire 2y agoNo. because the issues that France and England fought over do not serve any modern day political purpose. Nobody can use them to fuel their cause. But the idea that it’s due to “nationalism” still does which is why you are able to confidently boil down a hundred years into one word. And once again, not me the absence of emotion. Saying “they’re both right” or “they’re both wrong” elicits nothing.

I'm very open to you being brilliant with an incredible thesis at hand, but like, seriously give me your thesis - what the are you talking about?
