AI notes: The Korean War officially ended on July 27, 1953, when an armistice agreement was signed by the United Nations Command (led by the United States), North Korea, and China at Panmunjom, a village near the 38th parallel. This agreement halted active fighting but did not formally end the war with a peace treaty, leaving North and South Korea technically still at war. The armistice established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), a heavily fortified buffer roughly along the original dividing line, and included provisions for the exchange of prisoners of war and mechanisms to maintain the ceasefire. While hostilities ceased, tensions and occasional clashes continued along the border, shaping the geopolitical dynamics of the Korean Peninsula for decades.
