    What are some countries that have never lost a war?

    From what I can recall Russia, Finland, Switzerland, and Scotland never really lost any wars important but can anyone confirm this?

    Sorry for the randomness of this thread but I was just wondering.

    Ties do not count as losses (ie. in the winter war, it was a tie. Russia gained about 100 km square of land but lost 800,000 troops doing it. Finland lost only 20,000. So this can't really count as a Finnish loss. Plus: they only signed a treaty because they wanted to stop fighting, not because they couldn't win. Russia had similar thoughts.)

    I would say that there are no real winners in war, and Russia, although techinically didnt lose WWII, might as well have. they backed out if i remember, plus they lost over 1 million soldiers. not to mention all the jews and others killed as the Germans came through. i think?

    The russians lost around 20 million of their own people during WWII. So we can pretty much say that they lost in order to win.

    But are we talking about modern warfare? or are we accepting all of recollected history? Because thatd be real hard to work out.

    Sorry, but the win (maybe, unfortunately) isn't counted in people lost, but depends on the result. So, we won the WWII

    Our loss was the Crimean war in XIX century when we opposed the united army of UK, France, Sardinia and Ottoman Empire

    the german loss in the 20th century was when they opposed the UK, the USA, Canada, Austrailia, and the USSR....no matter how many countries you loose to, loosing is loosing.

    the russians had a lot more people to lose, sad as that might be.
    plus, hitler was a 'pins in the map' general, so the germans were pretty much screwed from the start given the size of russia.

    What aload of crap you write.

    you 'lost' in 2 "police actions".
    There's no shame in standing up to the reality of an unequal battle.
    It was the American press and home opinion that lost 'nam.

    Don't go trying to rewrite history and blaming someone else.

    Crap politics, using inappropraite tactics and weapons systems and resorting to chemical warfare all lead to failure.

    you are mixing WW1 with WW2.
    Russia withdrew from WW1! not 2! and as a result the royal family was deposed, its how communism started in the country!

    Sorry Luciferous, we have lost a war (well its battle but still) remember Gallipoli?
