The term 'peace-pact' is a broad term that can refer to any agreement between two or more parties to end hostilities and maintain peace. Two specific terms related to peace-pacts are ENTENTE and TRUCE. An ENTENTE is a formal agreement between two or more countries, usually for the purpose of resolving conflicts and maintaining peace. A TRUCE is an agreement between two or more parties to suspend hostilities for a specified period of time. Both ENTENTE and TRUCE are important components of a peace-pact.
