Answer 2

The transition word in this passage is "but." Transition words (or phrases) connect ideas in writing, helping the writer follow a train of thought. They ease the transition between different statements, and when used properly, make reading easier. In this case, Janeczko brings the reader along from noting a state of peace between two factions to remembering that the peace did not eradicate suspicion.
