In July 27,1953 North Korea and South Korea and the other allies involved were supposed to sign an agreement, but South Korea did not want to sign so they created another agreement.

Today there is a 2 and a half mile long buffer between north and South Korea called the demilitarized zone. This keeps the two countries fairly happy.
