"The Second Hundred Years' War" (c. 1689 - c. 1815) is an periodization or "historical era" term used by some historians to describe the series of military conflicts between the Kingdom of England (later Kingdom of Great Britain after 1707, and still later United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland after 1801), and the nation of France (with the various regimes of the Kingdom of France, the First French Republic and the First French Empire of Emperor Napoleon I) that occurred from about 1689 (or some say 1714) to 1815. The term appears to have been coined by J. R. Seeley in his influential work "The Expansion of England: Two Courses of Lectures" (1883).
