peace terms
Treaty negotiation points
Peace terms are the conditions proposed or agreed upon to end a war or conflict.
They typically specify territorial boundaries, reparations, prisoner exchanges, and future relations between the parties.
To dictate peace terms is to impose conditions on a defeated adversary; to negotiate peace terms suggests more equal bargaining.
The victors' harsh peace terms bred resentment that fueled the next war.
