| There was no peace treaty, only an armistice, signed on July 27,
1953, that established a cease-fire and created the heavily armed
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) at the 38th parallel. The 38th parallel became a frontier of Cold-War
politics, and three million were killed in the ensuing confrontation
between North Korea (backed by China and the Soviet Union) and South
Korea (backed by the US). The military legacy of the Korean War has been Task Force Smith,
Inch'on, the Yalu River, the Chosin Reservoir, Heartbreak Ridge and
the 38th Parallel. |
