Peace treaties that ended major wars

What you’ll practice

Match landmark peace treaties to the wars they ended, the year and location of signing, and the main signatories. You’ll also sharpen your ability to distinguish similarly named agreements across centuries and regions.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can focus on reasoning instead of speed. Choose your preferred question count before you start, and pick an easier or harder setting depending on whether you want review or challenge.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many misses come from confusing treaties with armistices, mixing up preliminary vs final settlements, or assuming the “most famous” treaty ended the entire conflict. Watch for near-identical names (e.g., multiple “Paris” or “Vienna” agreements) and for wars that ended through several linked treaties.

• Don’t treat ceasefires/armistices as the final peace unless the question specifies it
• Double-check the war name: some conflicts have overlapping or regional labels
• Separate a treaty’s signature year from the year fighting largely stopped
• Note when one war ends via multiple treaties with different states
• Beware of same-city treaties signed in different centuries

How the difficulty stays balanced

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: straightforward “treaty-to-war” matches appear alongside tougher items on lesser-known settlements and multi-treaty endings. If you want a smoother learning curve, start with fewer questions at an easier difficulty, then increase the count or switch to harder mode as your accuracy improves.
