The Korean War (1950-1953): A Stalemate Between North and South Korea

The Korean War, fought between 1950 and 1953, was a conflict rooted in the division of Korea after WWII, where the North became communist and the South embraced democracy. The war began when North Korea invaded South Korea, leading to significant international involvement, including UN forces. The fighting saw intense battles without a clear victor, resulting in an armistice that effectively established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) at the 38th parallel. Historians often describe the war as a stalemate due to the lack of significant territorial changes post-conflict.
