Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net  a"Peace" by Norman Arkawy and Stanley Henig is a science fiction novella written during the early 1950s. The story explores themes of war, peace, and the nature of civilization as it unfolds in a futuristic setting where Earth and Venus engage in a violent conflict, ultimately leading to an unexpected resolution. The narrative delves into the complexities of interplanetary relations and the inherent challenges in establishing peace between two very different societies.  The storyline centers on the war between Earth and Venus, sparked by misunderstandings and escalated by Earth's aggressive nature. Following a series of hostile encounters, the Venusians, who have long considered Earth’s inhabitants as warlike, find themselves forced to defend their planet against an invasion. The eventual victory of the Venusians leads to the establishment of a provisional government on Earth, where they impose a strict regime to ensure peace and order. This authoritarian governance includes unusual citizen duties and even population control measures, raising questions about the price of peace and the moral implications of such governance as the inhabitants of Earth are compelled to adapt to a new way of life under their Venusian occupiers.
