What does the V symbol mean?

It originated from the Battle of Agincourt in the Hundred Years' War between Britain and France. At that time, the French, relying on their strength, threatened to cut off the middle finger and forefinger of British archers, so that they could never shoot before opening their bows. But then the British defeated the French with fewer victories.

There is another story about the origin of the "V" gesture. However, in either case, V is the initials of victory. Victoire, the victory of French, is also prefixed with V, which also makes the popularity of this gesture more cultural.
