Have the french ever won anything?
I mean come on, they must have.
shareTh OP clearly has no concept of basic history to ask such a moronic question. In recent history it was the French who fought for the British colonists in America and Secured them a treaty leading to the formation of the USA. Why do you think the US has the statue of liberty? It was a gift from the French and used as a welcoming signal to immigrants arriving from abroad.
The French have won many wars and battles in history. The only country that has never won a war is the USA.
Technically the USA has done very few wars in the recent years. They followed the doctrine of Isolationalism. Only in WW1 and WW2 and the Cold War did they not follow it. Nowadays wars are not won like they did during the Rennaisance era or the Victorian era, e.g Complete annexation (See the balkan wars). They give you priviledges, rights and compensations. America has lost wars (Vietnam) but when it comes to other countries they rarely wage war to conquer, only to impose favourable terms for them. The French military was as brilliant as it was stupid. Napoleon lost at Waterloo due to an officer misunderstanding his command. Point is, no country ever could be judged for its military because due to the ages every civilization has been a conqueror of different scales. For example see the Vikings, or the Turks, or Greeks. Everyone has a share of war winnings and glory
