war is good if done full out

Real wars (not conflicts) do end disagreements for a long period of time.
War is the final and most effective device toward an end. We would hope the good side wins like in WW1 and WW2, but one thing is certain about the conclusion of an all out war, the victor defines the terms of peace and a conclusion is defined and followed.
We formed the United States after a victory by war.
We helped transform Germany and Japan after a victory by war, though they went through the same long term stages we are now going through with Iraq and Afghanistan.
The least effective tool for peace I've seen outside of the League of Nations is the United Nations.
I'm open minded though, what have you found to be more effective for peace between two major entities over time than a good war?
