Hello. Truce vs armistice. I think they both mean the ceasing of fire between people. However I wonder whether there is any difference.
To me, it appears that "truce" is colloquial, whereas "armistice" is more formal. Am I correct?
Context:
She felt the uneasy truce between the two parties in the ensuing silence, understood their hospitality toward Taran was dangerously tepid.
When about to enter Austrian territory proper his advance was, however, checked by the armistice of Villafranca.
Thanks.
