The 1953 Korean War Armistice Agreement is a major example of an armistice which has not been followed by a peace treaty. An armistice is also different from a truce or ceasefire, which refer to a temporary cessation of hostilities for an agreed limited time or within a limited area. A truce may be needed in order to negotiate an armistice.
A ceasefire (also known as a truce), [1] also spelled cease-fire (the antonym of 'open fire'), [2] is a stoppage of a war in which each side agrees with the other to suspend aggressive actions often due to mediation by a third party.
