the history of europe is very interesting can't really give you a general why tho, best look up the wars listed to find out why
 
I'm from the USA but do know people from France and from England who have immigrated here.
It used to surprise me the hate the people have for each other. Yet, UK citizens love to travel to France, drink wine, eat, see art and take in cultural things there.
I think the hate has gone of for so long that sometimes these people do not even know why they hate, just that they do hate. That is like Ireland, the IRA has gone on so long hating they don't know how to do anything else.
The Middle East is that way too, these wars have gone on for thousands of years.
In the USA, I think the hate we have for each other is within our own borders. We are separated by our views, being Republicans and Democrats. We are all on the same team, but it sure doesn't feel that way to me all the time. We truly hate each other.
 
France deserves to be blown up. Frenchies are stupid and weak and they don't know how to spell "always"
 
actually france tend to instigate the wars, and in some cases enland has no choice but to make a pre-emptive strike, eg in the napoleanoic era if England hadn’t have fought france the world would look very different
 
In the modern world (say last 300 years) Britain has always had a policy of trying to achieve equilibrium in Europe. This usually meant they tried to undermine or curtail the dominate military power of the time. Prior to th eC20th that power was normally France
 
england got stuck with tea , the french had bread, rolls , good salad dressing and champange, no wonder!
