According to a popular myth the two-fingers salute and/or V sign derives from the gestures of longbowmen fighting in the English army at the Battle of Agincourt during the Hundred Years' War. The story claims that, before the battle, the French boasted that they would cut two fingers off the right hand of captured archers and that the gesture was a sign of defiance after the greatly outnumbered English won the battle. also Winston Churchill used a V sign in both versions to symbolize "V for Victory" during World War II. And the peace symbol symbolises peace and has been used throught history. It looks like a circle with a y but with three lines instead of two. It is also said to be a sign for nuclear disarmament.
