The term "peace treaty" usually refers to a treaty between belligerents ending a war, through sometimes it refers to a treaty to prevent future wars. The two concepts are often combined, because in treaties ending wars, the parties have often pledged themselves to "perpetual peace". The terms of such treaties, however, are often so onerous that they stimulate the defeated state, which has signed under duress, to renew hostilities when the opportunity arises.
