peace treaties

Formal conflict resolutions

Peace treaties are formal agreements that end wars or armed conflicts between nations or other parties.

They typically establish terms for ceasing hostilities, settling territorial disputes, and restoring diplomatic relations.

Historic examples include the Treaty of Versailles ending World War I and the Paris Peace Accords ending U.S. involvement in Vietnam.

The peace treaty required both sides to withdraw troops from the border region.
