total victory

Absolute, uncontested win

Total victory is complete triumph over an opponent, leaving no contested ground or unresolved conflict.

The phrase implies unconditional surrender or absolute dominance rather than a negotiated settlement or partial win: Nothing short of total victory would satisfy the general.

In competitive contexts, it often carries a note of hyperbole or dramatic flair.
