INTRODUCTION

Background

The Hundred Years' War was a progression of outfitted struggles between the
realms of England and France during the Late Middle Ages. It began from questioned
cases to the French privileged position between the English imperial House of
Plantagenet and the French regal House of Valois. After some time, the conflict
developed into a more extensive power battle including groups from across Western
Europe, energized by arising patriotism on the two sides.
The term "Hundred Years’ War" was adopted by later historians as a
historiographical periodisation to encompass related conflicts, constructing the
longest military conflict in European history. The war is commonly divided into three
phases separated by truces: the Edwardian War (1337–1360), the Caroline War
(1369–1389), and the Lancastrian War (1415–1453). Each side drew many allies into
the conflict, with English forces initially prevailing; the House of Valois ultimately
retained control over France, with the previously-intertwined French and English
monarchies thereafter remaining separate.
The Hundred Years' War was perhaps the most outstanding struggles of the
Middle Age. For a very long time, hindered by a few ceasefires, five ages of rulers
from two adversary lines battled for the high position of the biggest realm in Western
Europe. The conflict's impact on European history was enduring. The two sides
created advancements in military innovation, and strategies, like proficient standing
armed forces and gunnery, that forever changed fighting in Europe; valor, which had
arrived at its stature during the contention, along these lines declined. More grounded
public personalities flourished in the two nations, which turned out to be more unified
and progressively rose as worldwide powers.

A famous rehashed legend guarantees that the two-fingered salute or V sign

gets from a motion made by longbowmen battling in the English armed force at the
Battle of Agincourt (1415) during the Hundred Years' War, yet no composed
verifiable essential sources support this dispute. This beginning legend expresses that
English toxophilite accepted that the people who were caught by the French had their
file and center fingers cut off so they could don't really work their longbows, and that
the V sign was involved by uncaptured and successful bowmen in a presentation of
rebellion against the French. And afterward there is some contending that this is only
a legend, in the mean time no legitimate proof to demonstrating this. In the other hand
this legend spread inside the general public, due to the solid untouchable related with
the signal (its public use has frequently been vigorously punished). Subsequently,
there is an inclination to avoid examining it exhaustively. It is "known to be messy"
and is given from one age to another by individuals who essentially acknowledge it as
a perceived vulgarity without trying to investigate it... A few of the adversary claims
are similarly engaging. Truly we will most likely never know. A regularly rehashed
legend guarantees that the two-fingered salute or V sign gets from a motion made by
longbow men battling in the English armed force at the Battle of Agincourt (1415)

support this conflict. This beginning legend expresses that English bowmen accepted
that the individuals who were caught by the French had their file and center fingers
cut off so they could presently don't work their longbows, and that the V sign was
involved by uncaptured and successful person in a presentation of insubordination
against the French. And afterward there is some contending that this is only a legend,
in the interim no legitimate proof to demonstrating this. In the other hand this fantasy
spread inside the general public, due to the solid untouchable related with the motion
and its public use has frequently been vigorously punished. Subsequently, there is a
propensity to avoid examining it seriously. It is "known to be bad thing" and is given
from one age to another by individuals who basically acknowledge it as a perceived
foulness without trying to break down it... A few of the adversary claims are similarly
engaging. Truly we will likely never know.

Contra on V-sign
If you do the gesture of goodwill accurately, that is with the center of the hand
confronting the individual to whom you are making the sign, then, at that point, there
is a walk in the park. Assuming, in any case, you have your hand the alternate way
round with your palm confronting yourself, then, at that point, you are adequately
saying, "F you!". The two fingered salute that way round has a similar significance as
raising a center finger does in different nations.
There is a legend that the explanation that the British fostered the two fingered
salute was on the grounds that during the 100 Years War the French said that they
would remove the initial two fingers of any longbowman that they caught so the
English and Welsh bowmen used to show their fingers to the French. It is a legend on
the grounds that the toxophilite would have been killed assuming they had been
caught as they had no payment esteem, in contrast to the aristocrats.
In struggle with this beginning fantasy, the recorder Jean de Wavrin,
contemporary of the clash of Agincourt, revealed that Henry V referenced in a pre-
fight discourse that the French were supposed to be taking steps to remove three
fingers (not two) from caught English bowmen. Employing an English longbow is
best finished with three fingers. Neither Wavrin nor any contemporary creator
revealed the danger was at any point done after that nor different fights, nor did they
report anything concerning a token of disobedience.

Argued as a myth
Provided you do the peace sign correctly, that is with the palm of the hand
facing the person to whom you are making the sign, then there is no problem. If,
however, you have your hand the other way round with your palm facing yourself,
then you are effectively saying, “F you!”. The two fingered salute that way round has
the same meaning as raising a middle finger does in other countries.

There is a myth that the reason that the British developed the two fingered
salute was because during the 100 Years War the French said that they would cut off
the first two fingers of any longbowman that they captured so the English and Welsh
archers used to show their fingers to the French. It is a myth because the archers
would have been killed if they had been captured as they had no ransom value, unlike
the nobles.

In conflict with this origin myth, the chronicler Jean de Wavrin, contemporary

of the battle of Agincourt, reported that Henry V mentioned in a pre-battle speech that
the French were said to be threatening to cut off three fingers (not two) from captured
English bowmen.  Wielding an English longbow is best done with three fingers.
Neither Wavrin nor any contemporary author reported the threat was ever carried out
after that nor other battles, nor did they report anything concerning a gesture of
defiance.

CONCLUSION

One of a kind occasions

This shows that various societies and districts produce various discernments
and implications. Very much like the case over, an individual's view of the "V Sign"
can fluctuate, contingent upon each culture. The meaning of insight as per Gamble
and Gamble (in Samovar, et al., 2010, p. 222) is a particular cycle, association, and
translation of sensor information in a manner that permits us to comprehend our
reality. At the end of the day, insight is the interaction by which individuals change
outer occasions and encounters into significant inside understandings. We should
understand that the mental part of insight is the thing that drives us to comprehend
intercultural correspondence. The fact is that various insights are regular (normal)
things to occur, regardless of whether it's a discernment that we believe is positive or
negative, since that discernment is abstract. What we want to do here is to
comprehend the current culture and regard that culture, so we don't need to contend
with the distinctions in insights between societies. We can see that the "V Sign" has
numerous insights all over the planet, from positive to negative. In Indonesia, we
decide to see the "V Sign" as a positive discernment and demonstrate that insight is
particular.

Things you could learn

Always ask before you decide to execute something, being completely no clue
is sometime helpful than storming the problem. It also happened in this case, when
we planned to go abroad try to learn their culture so there wont be misunderstanding
exist within us.
