Its the winning the war that matters not the battle
If you look at the US involvement in afghanistan or vietnam they won pretty much every engagement but still lost the wars which demonstrates the above point exactly.
France has actually won 1115 battles
England (Including after union in 1707) 1105
France and the UK are close equals but in terms of colonial / imperial achievements of land mass and influence the UK wins out spectacularly (Largest empire in history)
Its why most of the worlds first or second language is English, why at sea or in the air all transmissions are made in English.
