I'm pretty sure if war breaks out the likelihood of peace continuing is pretty much shot to pieces.
That is true. But when there was war last year, it's a very tentative peace, and it's easy for tempers to flare and hostility to resume... on the other hand, when there's been a decade or two without fighting, there'll be some peaceful ties being built (unless it's the unstable peace where there's tensions building constantly), so it does make a difference.
