Hundred Years' War
Franco-Spanish War

Answer
The French Wars of Religion were ended with the help of Viète's decoding skills. He was able to decipher the codes of the Spanish and the French, which allowed the French to anticipate their moves and ultimately defeat them. This was a major turning point in the war, and it led to the Edict of Nantes, which granted religious freedom to the Protestants in France.
