Explanation

The Hundred Years' War between England and France actually lasted 116 years from 1337 to 1453, not exactly 100 years. The Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) and Seven Years' War (1756-1763) also didn't last exactly their named durations, but the Hundred Years' War is the most famous example of this naming discrepancy.
