A normal war is one in which territories are clearly demarcated between parties who scheme against each other, and it often involves actual combat with real swords and spears.
If you win the battle, you're victorious; if you lose, your kind is exterminated or you surrender.
But in a war that involves different planes of existence, the cycle is usually extremely long, and victory or defeat is not determined by a particular place, person, or event... For it to last a hundred years is rather common, and even going on for three hundred years wouldn't make the headlines.
