Reply to comment by MoonHunterDancer in TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_

No. You don't need a peace treaty or any kind of official document to end a war, just like you don't need a declaration of war to start one.

There really isn't such a thing as countries being "officially at war without knowing it".
