Russia: Manchurian campaign, 1945
US: Gulf War 1, 1991
Britain: Hundred days, 1918
Germany: Barbarossa, 1941

Others:
France: Napoleonic wars?
Mongolia: Mongke's reign?
Mongolia would have to be Genghis Khan era... Too much squabbling afterwards.
Britain should probably be during red coats times, no?

I nominate:

Sweden: Karl the XII

Macedonia: Alexander the Great (doh!)
