To achieve true victory in war, it's not just about defeating the enemy but also ensuring peace and security in the conquered territory. The key question is whether the enemy's acceptance of defeat is necessary for complete victory. Factors like the impact of defeat on nations, the winner's objectives, and the actions taken to force acceptance play a role. In today's world, a less aggressive approach is often needed. Historical examples like the occupations of Japan and Germany show how this has been done in the past.
