Time Magazine reported on the Korean War Armistice Agreement in August 1953, a week after its signing on July 27: “A correspondent asked a British officer whether the Commonwealth Division would celebrate with the traditional fireworks,” the author wrote. “‘No’, said the Briton, ‘there is nothing to celebrate. Both sides have lost.’”
The 1953 armistice ended hostilities, allowed POWs to decide if they would be repatriated, and established a demilitarized zone, known as the DMZ, a heavily defended border between the two nations.
Hopes that a formal peace treaty would be reached after the armistice never materialized. Normalized relations have not been restored, and US forces still maintain a presence in South Korea.
North Korea remains a hostile totalitarian state beset with famine, an economy in shambles, and condemnation from the majority of the world for human rights violations and a growing ballistic missile and nuclear weapons program.
