The winner(s) are the players who have survived.
Usually a team of players who have conquered some other team of players.

I'd have to second Rollo here. Techincally, the survivors are labeled "winners", but it is a hollow victory (very hollow).

So, because it was only an allied "victory", you would be saying Canada (or US or Britain or [insert country of choice here]) "lost" after World Wars 1 and 2?

Keep in mind SE4 is a game, and has no bearing on reality.
