    When was the last time France won a war - without outside help?

    		Really depends on what you mean by "won" and "war". My best guess would be the French invasion of Algeria in 1830 -- they clearly conquered Algeria and did so without any outside help. Here's a list of French military victories (and defeats) throughout history:

    		What about the Battle of Foochow (1884)?

    Or, more precicely, the Sino-French War (1884-85), which France was "considered" to win.
