What US president ended the Korean war?

Answer 1

Harry S. TrumanI don't think this is correct, the war ended in a stalemate months after Truman was no longer president. By this time the soviets also had nuclear weapons and they backed North Korea so the use of an atomic weapon would have been reckless to say the least.

i think you are confused with the 2nd world war in which atom bombs were used by Truman to punish the Japanese.

Editor's Note: President Eisenhower is the correct President for this answer.

According to one author of Wikipedia, under the heading of Dwight D. Eisenhower: "As President, Eisenhower threatened to use nuclear weapons, forcing China to agree to a cease-fire of the Korean War. He maintained pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, gave priority to inexpensive nuclear weapons and reduced the other forces to save money."

I could not have said it any better than that author so I had to quote him. (I think it was Graham87 but I am uncertain it was him for certain.)

Answer 2

Dwight David Eisenhower was the 34th president of the United States (1953-61). Although newly elected, he quickly brought an end to the Korean War with a truce agreement signed on July 27, 1953 at P'anmunjeom.
