peace conference
War-ending meeting
A peace conference is a formal meeting between representatives of nations or warring parties held to negotiate an end to conflict or establish terms for lasting peace.
Such conferences typically follow wars or periods of hostility and aim to resolve disputes, set boundaries, and create treaties.
The peace conference dragged on for months as delegates argued over territorial claims.
Historic examples include the Congress of Vienna and the Paris Peace Conference after World War I.
