Detailed explanation-1: -The Korean War Reaches a Stalemate In July 1951, President Truman and his new military commanders started peace talks at Panmunjom. Still, the fighting continued along the 38th parallel as negotiations stalled.
Detailed explanation-2: -Invasion of South Korea, June 1950 On 25th June 1950, North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel into South Korea. Their aim was clear: to reunify the Korean Peninsula as a communist state. The newly-formed UN called on its members to protect South Korea, with US troops swiftly deployed.
Detailed explanation-3: -Peace negotiations began on July 10, 1951, in Kaesong, a city near the 38th parallel and now part of North Korea. For two years, negotiations stalled over the prisoner of war issue. Talks were deadlocked and troops faced a stalemate on the ground, but air power still gave the UN effective leverage.
