AI overview
A peace treaty is an official agreement between countries or groups that have been fighting each other, used to formally end the war between them. It matters because it provides a clear, legally binding way to stop the conflict and establish the terms for how the former enemies will relate to each other going forward.

The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the conclusion of World War I
A peace treaty is an agreement between two or more hostile parties, usually countries or governments, which formally ends a state of war between the parties. It is different from an armistice, which is an agreement to stop hostilities; a surrender, in which an army agrees to give up arms; or a ceasefire or truce, in which the parties may agree to temporarily or permanently stop fighting.
