The sacred truce is when all the city states where at war in ancient Greece, so to allow people to get to the Olympic games safely, they called a sacred truce. This made the city states of Greece stop fighting with each other, this went on for 1 month at the start but then it eventually lengthened to three months to allow people to go home safely aswell.

An abstinence of war is an obsolete phrase for a truce.
General Eisenhower never called a truce in World War 2. His forces and the allied forces won World War 2 with the Japanese and Germans surrendering to the Allied forces. The Axis forces lost World War 2. You could be thinking of the Korean War when the allied forces repelled the North Korean Communist Forces back over the 38th Parallel. There was truce called in that war. The Korean war never had an armistice or surrender. The war is still in effect and the warring could start again some day.
