The Korean War began in 1950 after North Korean forces invaded South Korea, leading to United Nations authorization of forces led by the United States to defend South Korea. Fighting continued until 1953 when an armistice was signed, dividing the Korean Peninsula along the demilitarized zone near the original border. The war resulted in over 2 million military and civilian casualties and no formal peace treaty, with American and South Korean forces still facing off against North Korean forces today.
