I get that, but ceasefire to me has always meant a stop to the fighting, indefinitely. Basically, the fighting stops without any stated end. If it does end, it ends. But the time limit aspect, at least from my understanding, isn't specified.

I do get your meaning tho, and in that context it is considered a ceasefire. Thanks for the insight, I had actually forgotten about that WW1 reference.

That's an armistice.
