A favorable condition of surrender is debatable (who knew what when). Otherwise you seem to have a very good grasp on the situation. Surviving means wiping out the country that had every intention of conquering the world. Stopping meant trusting them to be nice; we didn't even do that after winning. So stopping was not an option, because survival.
