What were the result of the armistice between north and south Korea?

The armistice between North and South Korea, signed on July 27, 1953, effectively ended active combat in the Korean War but did not result in a formal peace treaty. It established the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), which remains one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world. The armistice solidified the division of Korea into two separate states, with ongoing tensions and periodic conflicts continuing to this day. Consequently, the political and military stalemate persists, leaving the two Koreas technically still at war.
