What Country Won The Most Wars?

Before I start I want to point out I don’t support war and I am answering purely for history purposes.

I'm not sure what is funnier, the fact that people believe USA has won more wars than any other country or the fact that people believe USA has never LOST a war!

Most wars won:

1. Great Britain - en.wikipedia.org
2. France - en.wikipedia.org
USA is way down towards the bottom (One because USA is only about 200 years old and has not fought in many wars.  Two because USA is one of the worst countries at fighting wars...

Ok so you're American and you don't want to admit you lost the Vietnam and Korean War (if you invade somewhere and you leave because it's a stalemate or you can't win, that in my eyes is a lost battle)

“You beat the brits 2 times by using farmers”? Are you referring to the American Revolution and the war of 1812?  Britain backed out (I guess as they backed out like America did in Vietnam Britain can say they didn't lose?)

Why should Britain have won?

1. Britain had the biggest Army in the world (not anymore)
2. Britain had the biggest Navy in the world (not anymore)
3. Britain had the best weapons and ships in the world (not anymore)
4. Britain had the most money (not anymore)
5. Britain were better trained
6. Britain had 1,000's of years of war experience

Why did Britain "lose?"

1. It was taking 3 months to get supplies by boat across the Atlantic.
2. Britain was fighting 4 different wars at the same time which was stretching their massive army and navy.
3. Spain, Netherlands and France helped America.

In fact before France stepped in America was 95% defeated by Britain as they had defeated almost every one of America’s armies.

Nowadays America doesn't like to enter a war without Britain.  So America is unlikely to move up the list of most wars won by a country (as it doesn't count if Britain is holding your hand).

The UK wasn't born until 1707. France has won more wars because they're an older country. Plus France is a lot more powerful than the UK today. Read my big blog down below.

I guess it doesn't count that the U.S. bailed Britain out of two World wars. Without our industrial might and manpower, you would probably be speaking German now!

Funny we celebrate the founding of the nation as of 1776, glad guy on the internet has correct info. War of 1812 is a British victory but some see it as a draw.
American Revolution (Win)
War of 1812 (Loss)
Mexican War (Win)
American Civil War (Win)
Spanish-American War (Win)
World War One (Win)
World War Two (Win)
Korean War (Tie)
Veitnam War (Loss)
Gulf War (Win)
Afghan War (Ongoing)
Iraq War (Loss)

The USA never won The War of Independence, as there was no USA at the time...they were British subjects, so it was a civil war on foreign soil. 

Britain and Canada overwhelmingly won the War of 1812.  We completed every military objective.  We forced the US military out of Canada, burned the White House, pushed the US Army across America and even AFTER the war, we still continued pressing American sailors into service and blockading American harbours...that was what America was trying to stop in the first place.

Anyways, the USA would've won the war if they continued their advance during the battle of New Orleans. But the war was over and the two armies hadn't gotten word yet.

Anyways, the USA burnt down a city in Canada. This is why the UK torched DC.

England/Britain have won the most wars they have been having wars non stop (nearly non stop) for the past 1000 years and France would be second and USA would be at the bottom of the list because there history only goes back about 200 years and they have only had a few wars and they haven't won them all.

Great Britain won the most wars as it had the most experience. USA was like lambs to the slaughter.

As regard to the country that won the most wars it is a close one between France and the UK. America is nowhere near the top as they are too young a nation and have poor records unlike the propaganda likes to paint it...

The UK,, Scotland and England alone waring with each other through time probally makes up for a good number of all the wars ever fought, the UK has been a real war machine for several thousands of years and I don't expect the trend to stop

Hence, England was a run down Roman bath house full of apes.
Hahaha, my joke.
Anyways, one thing is for sure: England may become its own country again soon when Scotland leaves the UK and the UK dissolves, lol. Talk about keeping your country together, lol.

If it wasn't for America in World War 2, all you brits would be speaking English. Oh, and by the way the Soviets Pushed back the germans before you guys invaded so…yeah. And Americans in wwii please,what good did it bring you to destroy two Japanese cities (They're still recovering from it) when once again,the Soviets were already threatening to invade! And don't come crying to your alleged ''Cold War Victory'' I mean where do you get these things from? You lost Korea & Vietnam by a landslide and The communism collapse saved your little 98 IQ butts from speaking Russian right now, and speaking of language, WHOSE are you speaking 'cause it sure isn't yours. Also, don't you know there were OTHER wars BEFORE the revolution. But still Britain is the size of Rhode Island…. TIMES SEVENTY-THREE Also, if you haven't figured it out yet, I'M AMERICAN!!!

Brits would be speaking Russian if the USA didn't save them. Because the Soviets would've taken over Europe.

The Soviet Union beat the Germans. They fought in over 90% of all of the ground battles and suffered the biggest loss, maybe 20 million dead. Whereas, the USA and the UK lost about 700 thousand each. But the UK was defeated by Japan, so they didn't do much against Japan when they took their Asian Empire.

England. Without doubt, it's pretty ancient, and with a condescending attitude to the rest of the world, we made a fair few enemy's over the years. America is just drip fed brainwashing patriotic nonsense.

"United states of america, we never lost a war, and beat the brits 2 times by using farmers, and we didnt lose vietnam cause we won every battle, loss 50,000 troops but killed over 1 million of them, so how can you call vietnam as a defeat when we won every freeken skirmish and battle. "

Well if you want to look at it like that, then you lost 2 times against the Brits, as in both wars the British won every battle!!

Vietnam and Korea were proxy was fought against the Soviet Union and China. I wish you amateur trolls would do some research about the Cold war. The Soviet Union and China won in Korea, and Vietnam.

The Brits wouldn't be speaking German because the Soviets beat the Germans. Hence, the Limeys would be speaking Russia if it wasn't for the USA, lol. The Soviet Union was taking over Europe. And the UK and Europe could've never held their own against the might Soviet Empire, lol. The USA saved Europe. Also, the UK was defeated by Japan in WW2. Hence, Japan took Singapore from the whiny Limeys. And it was one of the largest British defeats in their history, lol. No worries, the USA beat Japn for you British.
