The governor knew that one sometimes had to fight to win the peace. Which is the correct description of the noun peace in this sentence?

The word "peace," in this context, is a common noun, as opposed to a proper noun, which distinguishes specific places, things, persons or concepts. it is in singular form, and ot is abstract due to the fact that "peace" is not something you conventionally "win".

Peace can be defined by the dictionary as a state or period in which there is no war or a war has ended.
