Go to Google and type in under search "How many wars have the French won" I forgot what they come up with but it's funny as Hell! The answer to your question is NO!. Edit -Tahsin They did Not win WW1 or WW2 They lost both badly! America and the British Won Both !. That's why guns that where used by the French in WW1 and WW2 are in such good shape !. Most where never fired!. They did however use them to hold up white flags!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The most recent unequivocal French war victory is probably World War I, although as one of the Allied Powers, they had a lot of help!.

They won WWI and WWII, but only when the Americans and British helped them!. There is also the rather obscure Second Italian War of Independence, but it only lasted a few months!. A coalition of French, British, and Turkish troops defeated Russia in the Crimean War!.

Yes!. For instance, try Googling information on:
