An Armistice is a formal agreement for a cease-fire between warring belligerents and may, or may not, contain terms and conditions other than a cease-fire. Whilst it is regarded as legally binding it is not a treaty and is generally considered a precursor to a subsequent Peace Treaty.
Examples of Armistices are those signed on 11 November 1918 between the western Allies and the German Empire halting World War I in the west at 11 a.m. that day; and the the Armistice which ended warfare between Italy and Austria-Hungary during World War I [at this point in time Austria-Hungary had been victorious on all their other fronts]. It was signed on 3 November 1918 in the Villa Giusti, outside Padua.
The Armistice between Bolshevik Russia and the victorious Central Powers was signed on 15 December 1917.[1]
