Considering the fact that France was the superpower of Europe and the UK was a peripheral state with a 5th of France's population, and still managed a territorial win, I'd say France lost that war, though it was mostly a draw.

Err, hello?... The thirty years war... Louis XIV diverse wars of conquest in modern day Belgium and Eastern France... Philip II against Richard I and John, conquering what is now the entire Western half of France... And the list goes on... It's not as if any other place in the world had similar military exploits in the Middle ages and early modern age...

I can kind of understand the American forum members for not bringing it up, but the most important (to America) French military victory against Britain is the one in the War of American Independence.
