The 1300s reference is talking about the first Hundred Year War between France and England. A period where the two were essentially in a permanent state of warfare invading one another at every opportunity.

The Irish stuff is because Ireland is still divided to this day with a piece of it being ruled by the United Kingdom. The Troubles and the IRA were all about freeing Ireland from English rule. People are still trying to free it to this day.

Star Trek lore states that Ireland fully reunified in 2024.
