Korean War Explained: Why 1953’s Truce Never Became Peace
Korean War explained: North Korea invaded the South in June 1950, and fighting stopped in July 1953. The war never officially ended, because the armistice signed on July 27, 1953 only stopped the shooting between armies. The peace treaty that was supposed to follow was never signed, so the two Koreas are still technically at war, divided by a 4 km wide buffer called the DMZ.
