Ok I am doing a project and I need to find 10 major wars the French won that does not include Napoleonic or WW1 and it has to be after 1800. My main area of historical knowledge comes in American and European history but of course like all people on here I know a little bit of everything historical. But I am having some trouble.....I just cant find much. I decided to see if you guys remember anything?

WW2
Crimea


Also search list of wars involving france

Do you own homework or you'll stay retarded.

Gulf War?

French wars against AFrican natives?

US revolutionary war is just before 1800 cut off, but technically it was a French financed win.

You can mention a lot of victories during the French Colonization period: Algeria, Indochina, West Africa, French Mandated Syria and Lebanon.

There's also the Franco-Austrian War of 1859, which led to the unification of Italy.

Colonization of Africa
WWII

Viet Nam? Oh, wait....

"10 major wars the French won...after 1800"
ha ha, someone actually believes the French won ten wars......ever. Does that include with Americans bailing them out or without? And does savaging Africans also count?

There used to be a troll on Google, where if you search 'French Military victories' through 'I'm feeling lucky', you'll get a page saying that no web pages were found, pretty funny.

France is irrelevant. By doing a report on France you have already failed.

well, I guess it's true that it's impossible to not at least have one troll on a thread

A lot of the wars mentioned here I ruled out because they cannot be considered major

Btw technically France didn't win WW2. They were overrun and occupied until they were liberated

well, then you do not have enough. in 200 years there could not happen that much wars!

200 years gives a long time for a few wars.
although in modern times it not a lot but a war is only a conflict where at least 1000 people die a year.
At least that's what i remember the minimum requirement was.

Well, I guess I will have to look harder because they would not have given me the project if those 10 wars did not exist

Wolf your teacher is a troll. I bet the next assignment will be on the mongolians influence on spanish culture.
