@xanadu: I'm not sure there is? If you go into Load Game, make sure you check "show auto saves" and try to find an auto save somewhere right before 2050 AD? I think in Civ 5, there is a default auto save every like...20 turns? I think it overwrites the auto saves eventually, but you can adjust auto save settings somewhere in the menu.
Anyway, if you have an auto save around 2050, you can play it out again and see what happens at 2050 (it should pop up a fairly prominent screen with a globe and the word "Civilization" with narration where he says something like "Well, you didn't triumph in any particular way, but you survived and we had to make somebody the winner"). If you lost he pretty clearly says you lost and it shows a picture of a desert with some broken statues. Regardless of which screen, you get options of "Exit to main menu" or "Just one more turn" which means continue playing as long as you want even though victory was already decided. I think you don't get the one more turn button if your civ was completely eradicated by military.
The score victory is decided by that number you see on the diplomacy screen beside each Civ (usually between 500-3000). It's the overall total value of all your science, culture, money, wonders, land, cities, population, etc.
