On July 27, 1953, an armistice agreement was signed between North Korea and South Korea, effectively ending the Korean War, which had begun in 1950. The agreement established a ceasefire and created the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) to separate the two Koreas. However, it did not result in a formal peace treaty, leaving the Korean Peninsula technically still at war. The armistice has since served as the basis for ongoing tensions and negotiations in the region.
