USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Eisenhower, who had been the Allied commander in Europe during World War II, had the political capital and public trust to end the Korean War with honor. On July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed, ending fighting between the UN and South Korean forces and North Korean forces.

Detailed explanation-2: -From July 1951, until the end of hostilities the battle lines remained relatively stable and the conflict became a stalemate.

Detailed explanation-3: -After three years of fighting, the war ended in a stalemate with the border between North and South Korea near where it had been at the war’s beginning.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Korean War Reaches a Stalemate Both sides were willing to accept a ceasefire that maintained the 38th parallel boundary, but they could not agree on whether prisoners of war should be forcibly “repatriated.” (The Chinese and the North Koreans said yes; the United States said no.)

Detailed explanation-5: -A new border between North and South Korea was drawn, which gave South Korea some additional territory and demilitarized the zone between the two nations. The war cost the lives of millions of Koreans and Chinese, as well as almost 40, 000 Americans.
