Well, here in France, the scholar term nation refers to modern (post-1789) nation-states.

Given that, France was merely a feudal state during the hundred years war, and only became a nation (and furthermore, the first one, according to our teachers) during the revolutionnary era, which - sort of - had his own genocide : the revolt in Vendée.
