The End of the Korean War


 To be truthful, the Korean War never really ended. North Korea and South Korea to this day are still split a part and still have much tension and conflict between them. Along the 38th parallel, there is a demilitarized zone between communist North Korea and noncommunist South Korea. The war ended in a stalemate, meaning a there was no winner and military actions just ceased altogether. As the U.S threatened to bomb and invade China, an armistice was signed between North Korea, China, and the United Nations. This caused the ceasefire and the withdrawal of the U.S troops, ending the war in a stalemate and giving the U.S a limited victory.



This picture is of the sign that marks the 38th parallel. This line marks the separation between North Korea and South Korea. This is where the war began and also where the war ended.
