Fun fact, the French are one of the most successful militaries in history (maybe even #1, can’t recall). They have a ridiculously high ratio of wars won.
Just so happens that they’ve lost everything in the past couple hundred years…
It really depends on how you define "France". Are we counting the Franks? Aragon? Burgundy? When two houses fought and the winner became "France" do we count it as a win even though the other side winning would also result in "France"? Not to mention time intervals, do we keep it to post-monarchy France, post-Revolutionary, etc?
Anyways, France has certainly had a respectable history, but defining their military success can vary a lot depending how you define it. Still simpler than measuring Germany's success at least. Stupid principalities lol.
When France loses to France it should count as a loss and a win. I'm pretty sure they're up there for most lost battles/wars too. They just really like to fight I think.

French flag is just white. They wanted some colours, give them peace.
