AnswerAlthough the war ended there was no winner. June 25th, 1950--July 27th, 1953 AnswerThe Korean "War" was not a war, it was a U.N.-sponsored police action and is more properly called the Korean Conflict. And it did not "end" -- there is a more or less permanent cease-fire but no formal terms for ending the conflict were finalized. AnswerIt is my understanding that they war/conflict has not ended. There is merely a cease-fire. We have troops on the DMZ and have had since the 'armistice' was signed. So, is it ended or suspended. Depends on your definition.

On July 8, 1950 General Douglas MacArthur was directed to assume command of all United Nations (UN) forces in Korea and to use the UN flag concurrently with the flags of all UN nations participating. General MacArthur held this command until April 11, 1951 when he was replaced by General Matthew Ridgway. General Ridgway commanded the UN forces in Korea until was assigned as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. General Ridgway was succeeded by General Mark Wayne Clark who assumed command of UN forces on May 12, 1952. General Clark commanded through the cease-fire on July 27, 1953. *As a footnote, the UN troops in Korea were not "peacekeepers." They were soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines of many nations. They were not there to "keep the peace." They were there to maintain the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea bydestroying the North Korean and Chinese forces on the Korean Peninsula. "Peacekeeper" is a fairly modern politically correct term which detracts from the true nature of the modern warrior.

Was there anyway that the Korean war could have been avoided?
There is always a way to avoid war, but sometimes events overwhelm people. It can be argued that if the Potsdam Conference and the Yalta Conference had not included an agreement between the US and the Soviet Union to split the Korean Peninsula, the war never would have happened. It can also be said that if Secretary of State Dean Atchison had included South Korea in his statement about the US Pacific Defense, the communist North Koreans may not have thought they could win, thereby avoiding the war. Possibly, if World War 2 had ended with a conditional surrender of the Japanese, granting them rights to Korea, the war would not have happened. There are many ways the war could have been avoided, just as many things, through hind-sight, could be avoided.

Hundreds of living Koreans remain separated from living siblings and other relatives with some living in South Korea and others living in North Korea. Every Korean male is required to serve about eighteen months of military service, which in itself constitutes a kind of suffering. As a conseqence of the military-service requirement for males, South Korea refuses to allow any form of dual citizenship for adults, causing yet another (mild) form of suffering. Foreign nationals who wish to naturalize are required to denounce all other citizenships, resulting in very low incidence of naturalization.
