post-war settlement
Treaty after conflict
A post-war settlement is the arrangement of political, territorial, and economic terms that ends a war and establishes conditions for peace.
It typically involves treaties, border adjustments, reparations, and new governance structures: The post-war settlement redrew the map of Europe.
Such settlements aim to prevent renewed conflict but may sow seeds for future disputes if terms are perceived as unjust.
