North And South Korea Are Still At War


You probably know that Korea is a region in East Asia separated into two countries: North Korea (formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea) and South Korea (officially known as the Republic of Korea).
Back then, the whole Korean peninsula was one country, but the reason why it is now divided into two is well-written Korean history. Until now, North and South Korea is still at war since the Korean war.
You may not feel the tension, especially when you’re in South Korea, but the fact that the two countries haven’t made up yet since the war, we cannot completely say that the war is over. Today, both countries maintain a ceasefire as per agreed on the signed truce in 1953.
The Korean War Was The United States’ First Major Military Conflict With The Soviet Union
Since 1953, South Korea and the United States have had a Mutual Defense Treaty. As a result, the United States has a sizable presence of troops stationed in the country. To this date, this disagreement has remained unofficially unresolved. After a three-year war in the 1950s, North and South Korea reached a ceasefire agreement.
