European conflicts refer to various wars and disputes that have occurred on the continent throughout history. These conflicts often arose from territorial disputes, political power struggles, and cultural differences. Notable examples include the Hundred Years' War between England and France, and the Thirty Years' War, which involved many European powers and was rooted in religious tensions. In the 20th century, two major conflicts, World War I and World War II, reshaped Europe significantly. These wars involved numerous countries and resulted in vast changes in borders, governments, and societies. The aftermath of these conflicts also led to the formation of organizations like the European Union to promote peace and cooperation among nations.
