victory
Contest's happy ending
Victory is success in a contest, battle, or struggle—the defeat of an opponent or the achievement of a goal against opposition.
A military victory ends a war or battle favorably; an electoral victory wins an office; a personal victory overcomes an obstacle.
The team celebrated their hard-fought victory.
A victory can be pyrrhic—won at too great a cost to be worthwhile.
