...& How many (which ones) did they "win"?

Way too many and some unnecessary ones tbh.

Well

This is all but impossible to answer.

Great Britain was only united in 1707 with the act of Union,but if you include the conquests of these nations before they became united then it is defiantly,impossible to tell.In a time period where communication networks were not established and databases for records were scrambled,it becomes a very real possibility that not all wars of England and the subsequent British empire are known.

All that you essentially need to know is,a lot.With victories in an estimated 88% of these wars,but the problem is defining a war.throughout the colonial period,there were many rebellions and attempted revolutions,do you class them as a war? or don't you?.

My guess would only be to tell you,many,many hundred.It is documented that there were 123 wars with french involvement alone,and many more without.You also have to look prior to the colonial period,when there were too,many wars committed.To get an answer to this question you need to ideally suggest a specific time period of a century or so.

The US has only been in 5 DECLARED wars but there's been something like over 200 conflicts and then you have all the slave rebellions and the wars fought by Native Americans.

[UnusualBoy]

There were like 4-5 big fights in Mexico but that was many years ago. There have been few rebellions but that's it

American Revolutinary War - won
War of 1812 - won only because the British didn't care.
Mexico-American War - Such a dirty war but won
American Civial War - Union won
Spanish-American war - won
WW1 - Allies won
WW2-Allies won


Those are wars the ones in the Middle East aren't wars since only Congress can declare a war, not the President.

[lasersss]

26 involved I believe.

We lost the Vietnam War.

[Deuces.]

I don't know how many wars. But I do know the US only really lost one war and that was the Vietnam War. And the Korean War is at a stalemate so it doesn't count.

[xLovatoEve]

6 or something like that. I don't really know.

[Mandarke]

... Poland - I believe more than 50. If counting only the big ones.

The Korean War is still going on, its just a cease-fire.

No formal declaration of war / = / undeclared war.

We didn't. We pulled out since it became severely unpopular and we went in without a goal in mind. So it was a stalemate at best

Let's not sugarcoat, the US lost. The whole point of the Vietnam war was containment, to keep communism contained in North Vietnam, to keep it out of South Vietnam. That was the sole goal.
Look at the map today and you see one unified Communist Vietnam. The goal was not met, therefore the US failed.

Actually it was more of a success tbh. If you look at all of the battles, we had won a great majority of them. The only reason why some people consider it a failure was because of communism was running rampant and we don't like communism. But no matter what we did, the governments in that area were corrupt so the war was an inevitable failure. So we had much success through a war that was a failure from the start, and that is why it was a stalemate. We actually could seem like we won because of Vietnamization was a success.

No goal in mind? The goal was to prevent the spread of communism and we (anti-communist groups) ended up losing North Vietnam to them. Trust me we lost that war.
