Losing their head was as big a factor as Big G's temper tantrum, imo. They had more than enough of an army to force concessions, so the war could have continued..
Yeah, the Annihilation Wave has the numbers advantage, but 7200 herald levelers is worth more than most galactic empires.. All it takes is one or two herald levelers to hold off a space army, and the GL's have 7200 of them. 3600 of them are able to deal with a sentient space sector, and less than that can deal with Anti Monitor or Krona.. Hal, he single handedly killed an amped up Krona.
Even accounting for mook GL's, that's a lot more than the Annihilation wave had to contend with, and makes for even odds imo..

It was specifically stated in the comic that Ravenous had to sue for peace as a direct result of Galactus' actions, not the death of Annihilus. The war could have continued without him.
Big G's attack was limited in scope, yet caused that much damage? If the Annihilation wave was concentrated in a several lightspan area instead of spread out, that makes the GL's work even easier. 3600 of them can contain a sentient sector, and a sector covers a much larger area than Big G's attack covered.

Limited in scope? He destroyed at the absolute minimum 3 star systems. In a later comic he was stated to have wiped the galaxy clean of annihilus' forces.
It's not so much that Ravenous had sufficient forces to prosecute war after Galactus' blast. It's that the A-Wave so totally overwhelmed the kree and skrulls, etc. that neither side could continue conflict after the blast. An arbitrarily defined "sentient sector" is equal to what? Can you specify?

The universe is divided up into 3600 sectors.
Considering how big the universe is, that should be bigger than 3 star systems.
Annihilus and Nova did manage to escape the attack alive, too. Yeah, they're tough, but they're not taking Big G's best attack.

This sounds more like the green lantern sphere of influence is divided up into 3600 sectors, as opposed to the totality of the DC universe being cut exactly into 3600 sectors itself.
Aren't 2 GL's apportioned to each sector? That would mean 1 GL is responsible for over 1000 galaxies.
Right.
Hm... Well, according to the story where they fought the sentient sector (GL corp annual 2), a single sector usually contained 1,000's of sentient worlds, and centers around galaxies.
So, sectors can be pretty big.
Edit: Just checked it, and Sinestros exact quote is "The galaxy became unstable" when sector 3600 started exerting its influence, and called it a God Galaxy.

are you guys talking about madgod sector 3600?
Yeah, exactly.
The sector of space was so powerful, it wiped out trillions of life in it without effort, including gods and the sector GL's, plus about a half dozen GL's sent to investigate. (Stated in the story)
The Guardians had to intervene and contain it, and the entire Corp dealt with it after it escaped.
As a group working in unison, the rank and file GL's are capable of skyfather level feats or above.. I'd give a large enough group of GL's fair odds even againat Odin or Galactus.
