In the timespan of twenty years, the Brits did acheive their objective of driving out the Boers from South Africa, I call that a Victory. Similiarily, Britain's wars a against India, all of three of them, resulted eventually in India's colonization, but the first two were failures. Still, it does not change the end result of the conflicts.

But if you look over long period why not look even longer where Britian not in India now? In that Britian lost. Each war must be taken seperate in this case not clumped into trends...historic trends not time line or accounting of wars.
