The Korean War That Never Ended - July 27, 1953

from The Daily History Chronicle · host Richard G Backus

On July 27, 1953, generals signed an armistice at Panmunjom that stopped the shooting in Korea without ever ending the war. Behind barbed wire, tens of thousands of prisoners faced a choice no peace treaty ever resolved: go home, or refuse. Seven decades later, the ceasefire that was supposed to be temporary still defines one of the most dangerous borders on earth.
