In a war their are no winners. Only losers.

Btw I remembered we learned the UK also treated to put pressure on the dollar something that is related during the Suez war when USA treated to put pressure on the £.

NO!

So what did the Uk won during the last wars?

VICTORY

Operation Iraqi Freedom - March 19, 2003 Britain and coalition forces invade and remove Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein from power.

I think the question was more "what did we win" than "when" we won. It got rid of Saddam Hussein, but that didn't mean much for the British people as he didn't have WMDs and there was no evidence that he was supporting terrorists. In fact, Saddam Hussein and Al Qaeda were polar opposites as to put it simply, Saddam Hussein disregarded religious rules as much as he disregarded life.

The only thing we possibly "won" was access to more oil.

In the World Wars we won our freedom....therefore we succeeded and Germany was defeated.

UK lost in the world wars, USA won.

Excuse me? We were called allies for a reason.

Colonial empire of Great Britain was greatly weakened because of world war 1 and 2 which lead to a rapid independence of their colonies. Because of world war 1 and 2 the economy of Europe was destroyed. The economy of the USA grew to rapid heights because their factories produced weapons/and other goods for the allies in Europe. USA gained A LOT from world war I and II and lost practically nothing important. 

Tell me what did Europe gain for unleashing two world wars? Nothing, they only lost. And YES, Britain is responsible for both world wars together with France and Germany. If it wasn't for the incompetent peace treaty of Versaille world war II might have never of happened at all. Or the incompetent leadership in France and Britain before WWII. In 1930 the people of Germany were the perfect sheep for a fascist leader. 

 

Sorry but the U.K did not lost either of the worlds wars,yes its empire collapsed but they still won the fight.Also the US woudnt have got anywhere if it hadnbt been for Britian(and the commonwealth) and Russia.The U.K might have suffered but Germany suffered more.

Inversely, Russia and the UK would not of won WW2 without the US. You know, it was a 2-front war, and Britian was getting its collective rear-end handed to it by the Japanese in the Pacific. The Russians did virtually nothing until 1945.

Ultimately, WW2 was won by the allies because of all 3. Had one not participated, they would have had a much more difficult time at it - although I could imagine it being won if it was the US + USSR with Britian being neutral.

Yes it was very much a team effort .Having said this Russia suffered hugely for its onvolment in the war and Britian was also left in a bad shape,america on the other hand gained from the war.Quite frankly if the Germans werent tied up trying to pierce through russians masses of men,britian would have suffered far worse.Personally i think that if the Russians hadnt been so humiated in the Winter War with Finland then they might have been even less prepaered for the German onslaught.I mean to think how badly they did against the Finns,just imagine against battle hardened Germans.Anyway what im saying is that the U.K did not lose the war and America could not have done it by herself.They all needed each other even if it would lead to another "war"
