Yes, I know this is old.

Go to Google and type in "French military victories". Hit "I'm feeling Lucky".

Click on the "did you mean" bit and read all about the French defeats. Funny read :)

- French Revolution
- Won, primarily due the fact that the opponent was also French.

Funny. ;)

However, from the linked page:
- War of the Spanish Succession
- Lost. The War also gave the French their first taste of a Marlborough, which they have loved every since.
On the surfaces, yes. Politically, France won a victory there by placing a grandson of Louis XIV on the Spanish throne. :p

Oh well, I'm far from an expert, quite frankly a noob on the subject.

Spain have sucked every since, just look at the World Cup Team!
