Peace Falls On Korea Armistice Ends Three-Year War
UN and Communist generals sign a hesitant armistice ending three years of fighting in Korea. The ceasefire halts fighting at 10 p.m. local time, but both sides vow no rapid withdrawal as UN forces stay in place to defend the Republic of Korea. China’s Peiping radio claims victory while U N leaders stress vigilance and a northern buffer zone. Syngman Rhee warns the truce may lead to further conflict as political talks seek Korea’s unification. Eisenhower welcomes the accord but urges continued watchfulness as a 1.5 mile DMZ buffer line is established within 72 hours.
