Tournament of War: Anyone?
Long ago, I saw a cartoon or graphic which displayed a tournament bracket. It was not of sports teams but of countries who have engaged in war. The semi-finals of US v. Vietnam and USSR v.

I'd pick France to lose in a first-round upset to Algeria; impossible that they'd advance so far. Also, I was fairly certain that China punished Vietnam pretty badly in their latest war?
As usual, it's all in the seeding.
You can add Alexander the Great losing to Afghanistan.
Also, I think you meant Mongols, not Moguls. Moguls still operate very independently for the most part, although Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are working together and might be starting to organize them.
And you could say that China lost to Japan before WWII.
This is from Spy magazine, late 1980's.
