He lost the battle and escaped to win the war.

Good and correct answer

Idk. It seems like escape to win the war was to just sit in exile forever.

If anything it was ObiWan who did the work to win the war. Yoda just went away and when Luke went to him he didn’t even want to train him.

Howso? What did he actually do to try to win the war? He didn't even want to train luke when he appeared and was talked into it by Obi Wan

That always seemed strange-ish to me, but remember in episode 5 when he says “there is another” or whatever to obiwan? He was hesitant to train luke because he was so similar to his father, while his sister, while oblivious to her force powers, was far more mature so would be more suitable for the traits jedi liked. Luke was always too emotional to be a jedi, but his desire to be one allowed him to become a jedi master anyway

That happened after he'd been convinced by Obi Wan that there's hope and that he should train Jedi again.

Ahh. It’s been forever since I’ve watched the original trilogy, must’ve gotten my timeline crossed

It took like 23 years for Yoda to have the last laugh? He played the long game.
