Throughout history, there have been countless examples of larger, more powerful forces dominating the enemy with overwhelming force.
Sometimes, however, the tables are turned, and the smaller force wins a spectacular victory, when on paper, they should have lost. Here are a few examples of seemingly weaker militaries punching far above their weight class.

A disputed fact in the China-Vietnam war is the use of chemical weapons by the PLA, contaminating the water of Mekong river flowing into northern Vietnam (which is called Hong river), the region being most affected is the border where most of the fighting occurred. My father was once an operator of a counter-battery radar in the war. He said there were already rumors at that time about the contaminated water source at that time but only until now, the consequences has became much more noticeable. Numerous veterans coming back from the war has suffered various health issues and cancer. Two out of seven of my father’s friends (who was all veterans from the Sino-Vietnamese war) have had cancer, one has just died yesterday and my parents went to his funeral. And for anyone who said those cancer is just natural causes, there is no such coincidence that more than half of my father’s platoon have now developed cancer.

@@LaVodangvada25tuoi Vietnam believes that they blocked the Chinese invasion. China failed to invade Hanoi, so it was their victory. China's view is that at that time, Vietnam tried to invade other Southeast Asian countries to become the hegemon of Indochina. China could not accept the emergence of new powers around it, so China chose to invade Vietnam and interrupt their aggression against Cambodia. After that, Vietnam chose to strengthen its northern defense line. It was also unable to invade surrounding countries. China achieved their strategic goals so they retreated. Both sides think they're winning, so I assume it's a "win-win"?

Whilst it wasn't technically a defeat, the lessons taught to the British by the Boers lead to the pre WW1 Army Reforms; new, more practical uniforms and webbing, improved rifles, more marksmanship training (more than most other nations of the time.) We also found out that large numbers of the British population were too malnourished for military service, hence The School Meals Act. One good, free meal a day ready for turning kids into soldiers should the need arise. I'm of the age where I still benefitted from that law (although I've never been to war.)

Indian army faced a vastly superior Pakistani tank force of 200+ strength comprising of US made Patton tank and Shermans. Indians laid out a careful ambush and decimated Pakistanis , who lost 150+ tanks while Indian loss was around 20 tanks. The strategy is taught in the military academies around the world.

Suggestions for a part 2. Finland vs Russia. Spion Kop(Boer War) Italian vs Greek in WWII. Italy invades Greece, Greeks beat them and push back into Italy.

North Vietnam had the backing from China and USSR. China provided AAA guns and AK-47. USSR provided Sams missiles. Chinese army even sent 300k soldiers to help North Vietnam.

North still won, boo hoo, also, a win is a win, like if Ukraine wins against Russia, people may criticize Ukraine for needing aid, but A WIN IS A WIN.

US weren't allowed to bomb the north for 90% of the war. No army can win with restrictions. North went all out, and kept their land.

@legirondin2077 2 месяца назад

And still they failed in nearly every operation where they met US forces. 47,000 Americans died in combat over 20 years of war. Sounds like a lot, yeah? (It is). So ask how many the North Vietnamese took? 1.1 million dead. Even Tet, which apparently "won" them the war, was a strategic failure on a military level. They were repelled by Americans at every turn, ending the "offensive." The impact they had militarily was a mere thorn in the US military's side. It was in the end public perception within the US that "won" North Vietnam the war, by getting US citizens to whine about the continued conflict that they were still winning on an operational level, forcing a withdraw of America's boys from the war. Subsequently. our allies failed themselves in defending themselves against the attack from the North.

Another one: battle of red cliffs, three kingdoms dynasty in ancient China. Liu bei and sun ce led an army of 50k to defeat Cao cao(200k men) at red cliffs to prevent him advancing farther into Han. This battle occurred on the river, and cao cao’s boats were connected, so one of liu bei’s generals sent a fake surrender letter to the other army, agreeing to bring ships. HOWEVER, the ships were all filled with flammable dry grass (all the ships back then were made of wood), and when the ships were close enough, they were set one fire, and because cao cao’s ships were CONNECTED, even if one ship set alight, all the others should too.

I mean, the cynical answer is that it was never about "winning," but rather political agendas and distracting the people at home from domestic issues by waging a bloody and flashy war overseas. Which would mean that unfortunately the lesson wasn't winning at war but rather winning at politics
