Korean war June 25, 1950
On June 25 1950 the North Koreans set foot on the 38th Parallel to South Korea. By June 30th the North Koreans had taken over Seoul, South Korea's Capital. The Chines were helping the North Koreans defend their base and were beating the South Koreans pretty bad. That is when the United States came to help the South Koreans. The war went on for along time, there were around 4,000 bombs dropped causing half million military dead, wounded or missing for North and South.
On July 27, 1953, American Lieutenant General William Harrison, Jr. and North Korean General Nam Il signed the Korean Armistice Agreement, ending “all acts of armed force” in Korea, until both sides were able to find a “final peaceful settlement.” The agreement was notably not a peace treaty, but rather, a ceasefire. Sixty years later, it seems we are no closer to a peaceful ending of the conflict"_
