I also didn't know Britain lost any wars in recent history. I thought their new method was giving back colonized countries to the locals and letting them destroy themselves.

The Eighty Years' War for example.

When the Dutch got rid of the Spanish and the Habsburgs.

The weird thing about the Netherlands is that it was first a republic, and then, after Napoleon, it turned back into a monarchie.

Which it is, still up to today.

The royal palace at the Dam square for example, was first the city hall of Amsterdam, before it got confiscated by the oranges-nassau.

Not too recently, late 19th and early 20th century we were losing everything and didn't just give places back. We like to think we won WW2, but both Britain & Germany were completely crippled by it.
