Koreas mark 27th war anniversary with rallies and calls for removal of leaders
North and South Korea held mass demonstrations across the 38th parallel to mark the war anniversary.

U.S. troops began phased withdrawal plans under President Carter, with criticism from Congress. An armistice in 1953 created the DMZ between the two Koreas.
