That's a tactical advantage they got but not necessarily a victory.

That's dispute resolution, everybody's winning. Not really a conquest.

Of course, that's the only solid example I could think of. I think the whole essay needs to be structured around Cold War with the conclusion that the Capitalist Bloc were the great nations that won without resorting to war -which of course would be disastrous given the threat of nuclear weapons. A counter-argument could be it were nuclear weapons not their greatness that avoided the direct military confrontation
