In all of European history, it seems like they lose the vast majority of wars. Can you list some that they won for me to learn about?

Someday you're going to learn this stuff doesn't matter. There's nobody keeping score, and whatever human nation is the "best at stuff" will receive at best cold comfort when powers beyond our control threaten us with extinction. It's like still caring about what horse won the Kentucky Derby when the whole nation is on fire.

See? You're still keeping score between imaginary teams. Do you think that red team is somehow immune to starvation or meteors?

The dissolution of the western roman empire.
It's obvious but the germanic kingdoms that popped up in between the fall of rome and charlemagn are quite interesting to read on

In Europe, they won vs the Western Roman Empire and they won the 19th century. For a while, you couldn't swing a cat without striking a German monarch.
They also make up the majority of the US population and are a massive influence on its politics to this day.

They are if they are really good at farming and storing food, or sending rockets to drill holes in meteors and blow them up

>Germany supposedly loses wars
>Somehow still around after 1000 years of losing wars
Think about it anon.
Most medieval and early modern wars were undecisive. Major losses for germany (the HRE) were alsace/lorraine to france, the netherlands, switzerland and northern italy to independence movements. Major victories were the several austrian victories over bohemia (again, technically an HRE civil war) and the prussians achieving freedom during the polish deluge. Colonizing eastern germany could be counted as a victory as well. You could count the 30 years war as a whole a loss (though again mostly a civil war) due to population loss.
Then we get into the 19th century and onwards, with victories over france (eventually), and the 20th century with obvious heavy losses.

If we want to count those undecisive wars as loss or win, a lot of the ones to the west would be counted as wins (france was the agressor and mostly failed) and most in the east as losses (german states like brandenburg or the teutonic order were the agressors and mostly failed). Italian wars were a total clusterfuck, not counting those. The magyar wars were a major victory in the end, but that was mostly due to a single battle and the genocidal aftermath.

When it comes to military prowess, there's no clear advantage or disadvantage. Many european areas or groups enjoyed periods of extraordinary success, but those were generally short lived. I think there was a period when german knightly armour was generally better than the rest (excepting italians) and one when landsknecht mercenaries were very popular (but they based their combat style on swiss pikes and spanish tercios, so not purely a german achievement.) And then of course the prussians often punched above their weight.

Well, "German" is a very recent ethnicity despite what nordicist retards claim. The word "Deutsch" comes from the Old Germanic word for "People" and was largely just a generic term for the collection of tribal hordes in Central Europe that didn't speak Romance languages. The Holy Roman Empire was just the Churches attempt to segregate these tribal hordes from the rest of civilizaed Europe. The HRE then collapsed thanks to Napoleonic autism and pandoras box was openes

Every single loss of the German peoples basically boils down to their failed attempts at legitimacy. Prussia and Austria-Hungary could never unify despite multiple attempts, because German is no a real ethnicity, and Germans themselves can't even properly define what a German actually is
Werhaboos will cope and seethe over these simple facts but it's true.

Also the balkan wars were undecisive at first, then major successes later. The ottomans were thrown out of the balkans by eugene and his successors winning one lopsided engagement against the ottomans after another, with mixed austrian/HRE/balkans troops. Poles like to toot their horn about winning vienna, but they fucked off to do nothing of note immedately afterwards.

Also they made barely a third of the coalition troops there.

Like Tolkein said their cultural ideal isn't victory, it's glorious defeat while dealing a significantly higher KD. The Germoid is happiest when he is outnumbered, back to the wall, facing certain death. If he is winning, he will simply rack up more enemies until he is again outnumbered.

Now now it's like I said, these pills will be difficult for the Wehraboo brain to swallow, but unfortunately for you, facts do not care about yor feelings. "German" is a poorly defined term for a loose collection of central European barbarians. The German Confederation was a failure. Even when fascists attempted to unify the German peoples by force it was a complete failure, because they overstepped their boundaries and nobody could decide whether or not Poles were Germanic or Slavic, because German is not a real ethnicity.

They usually win. They always find themselves in overmatch so when a big war happens there is a compounding effect.
They always punch up. WWI and II saw the Germans fighting almost single-handedly against the greatest world powers and the world powers struggling against the Germans, barely surviving and primarily due to geographic features.
If all of Russia was crammed into Poland and Belarus/Ukraine, the USSR would have been unable to stop the Germans.
If the UK was connected to Belgium via land, even with the United States on the other side of France, none of them could have halted the German advance.

Depends what you mean by german. Germany is a relatively new country born in 1871 by the guns of Prussia and the pen of Fichte. Before that, "german" was a generic cultural term rooted in the loose confederacy of different tribes forming the HRE, stemming originally from the ground duchies of Swabia, Franconia, Lotharingia, Saxony and Bavaria..
