I'm not sure I understand what you're attempting to ask.

If a we are at war with a country, they are by definition at war with us. Generally speaking a war is over when either we, or the country we are at war with concedes defeat and surrenders.

Assuming we are in a legitimate and legal war... meaning we were attacked first and the country we are at war with is the country that attacked us...and congress has made a formal declaration of war (not granting "authority" to the president to make war or granting the government to use force because another country violated a UN resolution)...

If they surrender the war is over. We pack up our stuff and go home, or if the war happened here, we send them packing.
