What does a harsh peace is no peace mean?

Answer:
Well, since harsh means unpleasant, severe, and cruel, and peace means a state of mutual harmony between people, a harsh peace (like if this harmony between people is unpleasant to others or something) would be very different from regular peace. That phrase would probably mean that if a peace between nations or people inflicts harm upon someone else, it really wouldn't be peace at all.
