Well, it's true that France has never won a war in 200 years.

WW1, WW2 eventually, American War of Independence, Crimean War, Algeria 1830's, Franco Austrian War.......
As a Britain I like to take the sap out of the French like the rest but I always think it is wise to remeber every French village has a statue of a Poilu with a hell of a lot of names on it!

Anyways, I apologize for the statement concerning the French.
