Key Points:
- North and South Korea remain divided by one of the world’s most heavily militarized borders, a legacy of the 1950-53 Korean War.
- The conflict ended with an armistice, not a peace treaty, meaning the two countries are technically still at war.
- The war’s impact persists visibly through border fortifications, memorials, and the ongoing separation of families affected by the conflict.
- Survivors and descendants continue to carry memories of loss, ensuring the history and consequences of the war are remembered and passed down.
- This summary accompanies a photo gallery curated by AP photo editors highlighting these enduring effects.
