You'll note that even though Mexico was defeated in the war and basically forced to give up large amounts of land to the United States (which the losers to have to do in war), the United States also paid Mexico the sum of $627 million (in today's dollars).
I can't say what the land was valued at back then, but you generally don't see a victor laying out cash on the barrel for land that they've taken by force of arms.

But, I have little problem with the concept of winner takes all. Always been the case.
