Last Possible Anglo French War

So, as the title says.

When could be the last war between the two? Could something be sparked by the 1830 revolution or could Nappy part three do something very silly. I know that the Vichy French fought British forces in WWII, bit I don't really think this counts.

Over to you.
 
England got it's own back for Hastings at Waterloo, there was no further point in fighting the French... we had beaten them!

On a more serious note, both countries were too worried about German to really want to fight eachother, so if you wanted a war then strenghen the ties between Prussia / Germany and GB or remove the treat of Germany / Prussia.

If France had tried to use Belgium as an invasion route in 1870, Britain could well have intervened. Bismarck was only too happy to publicly announce Prussia's adherence to treaty terms & respect Belgian neutrality. Don't forget that much of Europe saw France as the aggressor - after all, Napoleon III had spent much time after 1866 trying to tie the Austrians & Italians into an anti-Prussian alliance.
 
Depending on how loosely you define a war, I could see France and Britain getting involved in a dispute over fishing rights on the lines of the Turbot War or the Cod Wars.
 
Napoleon had no sucess in this...

Partly because Austria "only" lost territory in Italy and none to Prussia.

Had Prussia taken a chunk out of Austria, A-H might have joined France to reclaim those losses.
 
An Anglo-German alliance was touted around the turn of the 20th Century. That could cause a French-British great war. :eek:
 
A WW2 PoD could result in France going Red and then a WW3 with Britain aligned with the USA/Free World Alliance and France in the Warsaw Pact analogue.

I think it's hard to make a WW2 POD in this thread, except if we have a WW1 and a WW2 before 1900 :D

But there was alreadt the Turbot War, classified on wiki as a military conflict, France on one side, Britain on the other.
