Answer:

The purpose of a treaty is to officially end the state of war between the hostile parties.

You can win or lose a war in many ways. It depends on the time in history. A nation can surrender after enough losses, give the territories to the winner or the whole country in some cases. But capitulation is not the only way to win a war. You can lose every single part of land a country owns but continue to fight with your allies like Serbia did in World War 1. And Germany surrendered in World War 1 not by losing territory but by realizing that there is no way to win the war. And in World War 2 they were fighting until the end. Even after the capitulation, some soldiers kept fighting.

So to win a war you need the other side to surrender. Casualties, territory, and length of war do not mean victory or defeat, only when one party concedes defeat.

What was the decisive turning point in the US Civil War that turned the campaic in favor of the Union troops?​
Setler [38]

Well, there were two important turning points of the war.

The first one is the Battle of Gettysburg. Basically, Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Army marched into Pennsylvania to capture a town in order to cut off Washington D.C from the rest of the Union, which could force a decisive surrender of the Union. However, Union forces met with Confederate forces, resulting in a bloody battle that ended with the most notable conflict of the battle of General Pickett's Charge, which was the final conflict that resulted in the defeat of the Confederates. This was decisive because General Lee did not attempt to strategically end the war after this battle. Which further meant that Lee would have to fight an already pro longed war when the South did not have the resources or the industrial capacity or the able bodied men to serve as soldiers as the North did.

The second turning point I would say would be the appointment of General Ulysses S. Grant of the Union forces by Lincoln, due to that he was a brilliant general and already known war hero, and for the fact that of his only acceptance of enemy surrender conditions as "unconditional", hence his nickname "Unconditional Surrender Grant".
