when did the korena war truce talks "offically" begin? actually by what date did the talks really begin?

Answer 1

By mid-1951, the military situation in Korea was deadlocked. After Chinese intervention, UN forces had regrouped and dug in roughly along the old 38th Parallel border between North and South Korea, and undertook no further ground offensives. Chinese / North Korean forces continued to try to penetrate the UN defences, but at huge cost to themselves and without any substantial gains to show.

In this situation, truce talks began at Panmunjom on July 10, 1951. The talks started slowly, but on Nov. 27, 1951, the two sides agreed on the 38th Parallel as the line of demarcation and almost immediately military operations slowed down.

When Gen. Mark Clark assumed command of U.N. forces in Korea, on May 12, 1952, he was confronted with a military deadlock on the front lines, stalled Armistice negotiations, and a violent prisoner of war situation on the island of Koje-do, off the southern coast of South Korea. Clark believed that the Communists only understood force and stepped up military pressure on the enemy to break the stalemate at Panmunjom.

Fighting continued in the air and via localized (but frequently fierce) ground actions throughout 1952. Actions such as: Old Baldy (Hill 266); Battle of Bunker Hill (Hill 122); Battle of Hill 598 (Sniper Ridge) in the Iron Triangle; Battle of the Hook; Heartbreak Ridge; and T-Bone Hill.

It was much of the same through the first half of 1953. Through March and April, to-and-fro fighting in the Old Baldy / Pork Chop Hill area; and heavier than ever UN (mainly American) air assaults.

Finally, on July 27, 1953, the United States, North Korea and China sign an armistice, which ended the war but failed to bring about a permanent peace. To date, the Republic of Korea (South) and Democratic Peoples' Republic of Korea (North) have not signed a peace treaty. North and South Korea did sign a non-aggression treaty in 1991.
