Korean War?

Question

What was the outcome of the Korean War?

Answer 1

The Korean War ended with a cease-fire on the 38th parallel, on July 27,1953.
The war ended as a stalement between the forces of the UN (Led by the United States & South Korea) and North Korea.

However, North Korea and South Korea are still at war, remember that. To this day, the demilitarized zone at the 38th parallel is one of the most heavily enforced zones in the world guarded by North Korean, South Korean, and American troops to be there if any war were to take place.

Just a brief overview.

Answer 2

It is still a war. There is a cease fire, but no ending! That is why the the vets who served in Korea were finally recognized by the Koreans. If you served in Korea, like I did, you are authorized this medal and should ask to be issued it along with a addition to your DD214. the medal is the Republic of Korea Korean War Service Medal.

It's the 38th Parallel!

Answer 3

The short (overly simplfied) version: Korea was divided into two entities, North and South, at the 38th Parallel in 1945. North Korea, under the auspices of the Soviet Union, became a communist state, presided over by Kim Il sung. South Korea, under the auspices of the United States, became a democratic state, presided over by Syngman Rhee. In an effort to forcibly unite the 2 Koreas, North Korea invaded South Korea on 25 June 1950. An armistice was signed in 1953, technically leaving the 2 Koreas in a state of war which exists to this date. South Korea today is one of the most successful countries in the world with a working democracy and a vibrant economy. North Korea is a failed state with a repressive govenment and a "basket case" economy. US and South Korean relations remain on reasonably good terms, although many Koreans are somewhat tired of the continued US military presence. Lately, North and South Korea have made inroads toward mutual recognition and economic and social cooperation. Technically, the Korean War ended in a stalemate, and many Americans believe that the US, in reality, lost its first war ever in Korea since the status quo remains unchanged. American military personnel who have served in Korea since 28 July 1954 to a date yet to be determined, are awarded the KOREA DEFENSE SERVICE MEDAL (established in 2003). I served 6 years in Korea as a member of the US Army.

Answer 4

A cease fire. When the shooting finally stopped, I believe in 1953, the cease fire lines were petty close to where the border between North and South Korea were prior to the beginning of the war. There has been no peace negotiations. The U.S. still has around 30,000 troops still in South Korea. In actuallity, since this was a UN war, several nations still have troops there, mainly office staff and mainly officers----colonels and generals (nice duty if you can get it). While I was there in 1974, Britian supplied a platoon of troops for honor gaurd duty.

Answer 5

A stalemate with a cease-fire agreement that called for a Communist North Korea and a free South Korea divided at the 98th parallel, with a dimilitarized zone (DMZ) in between.

Answer 6

Two Koreas

Answer 7

uhm North Korea and South Korea

Answer 8

Stalemate. Technically it is still going on.
