peace time

Era without conflict

Peacetime is the period when a nation is not at war.

It contrasts with wartime and often appears in discussions of military policy, economic conditions, or civil liberties: The largest peacetime military buildup in history.

Peacetime economies shift production away from weapons and toward consumer goods.

Also spelled as two words: peace time.
