peace deal

War-ending accord

A peace deal is a formal agreement between parties in conflict—usually nations or armed factions—to end hostilities.

The term emphasizes negotiated resolution rather than military victory: The peace deal included a ceasefire and prisoner exchange.

Peace deals often involve compromises that leave neither side fully satisfied, and many collapse before lasting peace takes hold.
