Well since the war against King Aerys was a war of deposition it wouldn't truely end until either; Aerys is killed, captured, or surrenders and then someone usurps his kingdom. Or someone can just plain usurp the kingdom without having him killed or anything like that if enough vassals of the kingdom support this man's claim, though Aerys would probably still fight if this happened.

My point is that Titus Mede II did make a good decision when signing the peace treaty.

Then no it does not prove your point as my point is that the empire was not necessarily defeated when they surrendered.

When I say "defeated" my meaning is that you don't surrender until there is no way you can win.
