If we take it that way, practically any war is disqualified no matter how it ends.
Unlike Japan, they were still in possession of a large and powerful fleet and had options. Japan lost and surrendered. The Vong were not doing well but had not lost.
Japan surrendered after losing a fight. The Vong made peace while they could fight.
They should be disqualified. Incidences that result in the death of billions (trillions?) shouldn't be classified as incidents that are solved without violence. imo
And Japan and the Vong aren't so different. Japan could still fight when they surrendered- in fact it was estimated that trying to take Japan in a conventional military operation would have been one of the costliest (in US lives) battles in the war. Japan surrendered because it had suffered a string of crippling defeats and because the people had grown disillusioned with the Emperor and were tired of fighting for the cause, which is pretty analogous with the Vong.
