Yup. That’s how war works. The winner takes stuff. It’s like hitting a reset button on property rights. And that’s exactly what sets up the next war.

The problem of property rights is that compensation is unaffordable for the victor.

So far, mankind has only found 1 solution to this problem: kill. It’s awful.

There is a difference between winning the war and stealing from someone who wins the war ;-)

If you steal enough from the winner, they war starts anew.
