We have fought two wars. Our Revolution was a resounding victory for the new United States and its allies. Our War of 1812 was something of a side show in the overall Napoleonic Wars. It was effectively a draw in my book. We won the biggest victory of the war at New Orleans, after the peace treaty had already been signed. The British burned Washington. It was a disjointed mess, and the Brits had MUCH bigger fish to fry. Overall, it proved the American Republic could and would defend itself. That wasn't a given at the time. Sometimes a draw is a very good result. For the US in that war it was.More like 1000 to ZERO

We have technically lost one war for sure (even if that was due to what happened at home) ....but that loss served a good strategic purpose for us. A moral victory for sure.Undefeated world champions.
