===Korean War=== On November 29, 1952, the US [[president-elect of the United States|president-elect]], [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]], went to Korea to see how to end the [[Korean War]]. With the [[UN]]'s acceptance of [[India]]'s proposed armistice, the ceasefire between the [[UN Command]] on the one side and the [[Korean People's Army]] (KPA) and the [[People's Volunteer Army]] (PVA) on the other took hold at approximately the [[38th parallel north]]. These parties signed the [[Korean Armistice Agreement]] on July 27, 1953<ref>{{cite web|title=Document for July 27th: Armistice Agreement for the Restoration of the South Korean State|url=https://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/todays-doc/index.html?dod-date=727|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121019201719/http://www.archives.gov/historical-docs/todays-doc/index.html?dod-date=727|archive-date=19 October 2012|access-date=13 December 2012}}</ref><ref name="findlaw-19530727">{{cite web|date=27 July 1953|title=Korean War Armistice Agreement|url=http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/korea/kwarmagr072753.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140305164517/http://news.findlaw.com/cnn/docs/korea/kwarmagr072753.html|archive-date=5 March 2014|access-date=5 March 2014|work=[[FindLaw]]|publisher=[[Thomson Reuters]]|location=[[Canada]] and United States}}</ref> but South Korean President [[Syngman Rhee]], who attacked the ceasefire proceedings, did not.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Kollontai|first1=Ms Pauline|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=FhAEmcLqrA8C&pg=PA111|title=Peace and Reconciliation: In Search of Shared Identity|last2=Kim|first2=Professor Sebastian C.

The war is considered to have ended at that point even though there still is no peace treaty.
