The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, and officially ended with an armistice agreement on July 27, 1953. The conflict lasted approximately three years.
Here’s a breakdown of the key dates:
- Start of the War: June 25, 1950
- End of Major Hostilities (Armistice): July 27, 1953
However, it's important to note that the United States is technically still in a state of armistice with North Korea, as a peace treaty was never formally signed.
