War Splits Korean Peninsula

|

In June of 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea, starting a war that saw UN troops led by the United States push the North Korean armies almost all the way to the Yalu River, the border with China. When Communist Chinese forces became involved, the war bogged down into a stalemate. After three years, an armistice was signed splitting the peninsula at the 38th parallel and creating what is now the DMZ between North and South Korea.
