The Korean War began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea. The war ended unofficially on 27 July 1953 in an armistice. The agreement created the Korean Demilitarized Zone to separate North and South Korea, and allowed the return of prisoners. No peace treaty was ever signed, and the two Koreas are technically still at war, engaged in a frozen conflict.
About Korean War in brief
The Korean War began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea following clashes along the border and insurrections in the south. The war ended unofficially on 27 July 1953 in an armistice. The agreement created the Korean Demilitarized Zone to separate North and South Korea, and allowed the return of prisoners. No peace treaty was ever signed, and the two Koreas are technically still at war, engaged in a frozen conflict. The Korean War was among the most destructive conflicts of the modern era, with approximately 3 million war fatalities and a larger proportional civilian death toll than World War II or the Vietnam War. It incurred the destruction of virtually all of Korea’s major cities, thousands of massacres by both sides, including the mass killing of tens of thousands of suspected communists by the South Korean government and the torture and starvation of prisoners of war by the North Korean command. North Korea became one of the most heavily bombed countries in history. In April 2018, the leaders of North and. South Korea met at the DMZ and agreed to work toward a treaty to formally end the Korean War. In Korea, the war is usually referred to as the \”6–5 Upheaval War of North Korea, or the Hán-i-5 dong-o dong War of South Korea. In China, it is officially called the war to Resist America and Korea, although it is also used in unofficial contexts, such as along with the term ‘Choson’ or ‘Inland’ The war was initially called the ‘Fatherland Liberation War’ by the U.S.
and more commonly used in regions such as Hong Kong and Macau. It is now known as the ‘Korean War of the Fatherland’ or the ‘Hán Land Liberation War of Inland Korea’ It is also known as ‘The Great Patriotic War of Korea’ by South Korea and the ‘War to resist America and Inland China’ by North Korea. The U.N. Security Council denounced the North Korea move as an invasion, and authorized the formation of the United Nations Command and the dispatch of forces to Korea to repel it. After the first two months of war, South Korean Army and the US forces rapidly dispatched to Korea were on the point of defeat. After this the front stabilized and the last two years of fighting became a war of attrition. The war in the air, however, was never a stalemate, and North Korea was subject to a massive US bombing campaign. It was also the first air-to-air combat for the first time in history, and Soviet pilots covertly flew in defense of their communist allies. The United States provided around 90% of the military personnel, with the United States providing around 90 per cent of themilitary personnel. The fighting ended on 27July 1953 when the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed. In South Korea the war was called ‘The Fatherland War’ or ‘The Inland Liberation War of Inland Korea’, reflecting the date of its commencement.
