Detailed explanation-1: -Just a few years after World War II, the Cold War was heating up between communism and capitalism. Communist North Korea shocked the world by invading South Korea, sparking the Korean War. Unfortunately, the end of World War II did not bring about lasting peace.
Detailed explanation-2: -Fighting ended on 27 July 1953, with an armistice that approximately restored the original boundaries between North and South Korea. Korea was devastated. Around three million civilians and soldiers had been killed.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -The agreement allowed the POWs to stay where they liked; drew a new boundary near the 38th parallel that gave South Korea an extra 1, 500 square miles of territory; and created a 2-mile-wide “demilitarized zone” that still exists today.
