Korean War Armistice Signed: Three Years of Fighting End
The United States, China, and North Korea signed an armistice agreement that halted active fighting in the Korean War, while South Korean President Syngman Rhee refused to endorse the deal yet pledged to observe its terms. This compromise froze the conflict along the 38th parallel rather than resolving the underlying political dispute, leaving the peninsula divided for decades without a formal peace treaty.
