My humble opinion is that there are two factors at work here...

One is that it is not "politically correct" for a country to celebrate victory when watching every newscast, are those who were defeated.

Second factor is that when most of those who fought were alive, we celebrated a victory. But now that most of them are gone (WWI and WWII), we remember the fallen, both in battle and much after the fact.

I don't know when this shift occurred, but I agree that it has occurred.
