what was going on in the korean war in early 1953
The Korean War, 1950â1953. The Korean War began as a civil war between North and South Korea, but the conflict soon became international when, under U.S. leadership, the United Nations joined to support South Korea and the Peopleâs Republic of China (PRC) entered to aid North Korea. handful of U.S. and British POWs in North Korea opted against repatriation as well, choosing instead to live in Communist China or North Korea. The armistice was only a ceasefire agreement, not a formal peace treaty ending the war.
