Detailed explanation-1: -After three years of a bloody and frustrating war, the United States, the People’s Republic of China, North Korea, and South Korea agree to an armistice, bringing the fighting of the Korean War to an end. The armistice ended America’s first experiment with the Cold War concept of “limited war.”
Detailed explanation-2: -On July 27, 1953, seven months after President Eisenhower’s inauguration as the 34th President of the United States, an armistice was signed, ending organized combat operations and leaving the Korean Peninsula divided much as it had been since the close of World War II at the 38th parallel.
Detailed explanation-3: -The signed Armistice established a “complete cessation of all hostilities in Korea by all armed forces, ” which was to be enforced by the commanders of both sides. The armistice is, however, only a ceasefire between military forces, rather than an agreement between governments to normalize relations.
Detailed explanation-4: -The armistice, while it stopped hostilities, was not a permanent peace treaty between nations. President Eisenhower, who was keenly aware of the 1.8 million American men and women who had served in Korea and the 36, 576 Americans who had died there, played a key role in bringing about a cease-fire.
Detailed explanation-5: -In their hurried effort to disarm the Japanese army and repatriate the Japanese population in Korea (estimated at 700, 000), the United States and the Soviet Union agreed in August 1945 to divide the country for administrative purposes at the 38th parallel (latitude 38° N).
