What's the difference between 'treaty' and 'settlement'?
Both are agreeements, but I can't see the slight difference that may be between both. Is treaty a type of settlement?

Thank you!

Answer

The words have the same principle and both mean an agreement, but are used in slightly different contexts. 
A “treaty” is used between countries to help them come to an agreement. 
Whereas a “settlement” is just an official agreement to resolve an issue between people. 
As you can see the main difference is who or what is coming to an agreement.

Hope this helps!

Answer

A treaty comes into force as an attempt to end conflict or disagreement between 2 parties. A settlement is a solution to a conflict and is an end to the conflict. Hope that helps:)
