Did ancient Greece win many wars?
ancient greece wasn't a country it was a collection of cities that were each their own government, and only ruled about one day's walk beyond the city walls.





For example, the two most famous ancient greek cities were Athens and Sparta. They fought eachother more than once. When Sparta beat Athens, do you count that as a 'win'? what about when Athens beat Sparta, is that a 'win' too?





But to answer your question in another way, yes, many of the ancient greek city-states were quite successful militarily

hmmm
Reply:well it wasnt really a country but the Greek city-states won many battles
Reply:The Greeks mostly fought among themselves. If you want some wars they participated in, try googling Greek-Persian wars.
Reply:Classical ancient Greece was indeed city-states, not one united country, until Philip II of Macedonia conquered and ruled most all of Greece as one nation. His son Alexander the Great then took the Greek power and culture and conquered huge territory, never losing a battle. But I'm ahead of myself. Ancient Greece of Sparta/Athens fame united most famously against the Persians. The Persian king Darius first tried to invade Greece, but was stopped at the Battle of Marathon. His son Xerxes tried later, with a bigger army, but his army took a big hit against a much smaller force (led by Spartans) at the Battle of Thermopylae. The Persians did eventually win Thermopylae, despite the high cost, and burned Athens. But finally the Persian navy was defeated by the largely Athenian navy at the Battle of Salamis. I believe there was one final land battle that the Greeks won, but the point is they won the Persian wars, beating a huge world power for that time.





There is also the Peloponesean (I know I spelled that wrong)wars, but that was Greek city-state vs. Greek city-state, mostly Sparta vs. Athens.
