Answer 2

• Answer: B. The war ended in a truce, and Korea remained a divided nation.

Although there is no open conflict between North and South Korea nowadays, a formal peace agreement was never signed. On July 27, 1953, an armistice was signed, which allowed the fighting to stop and the prisoners of war to return to their homes. However, Korea remains a divided country.

The United States was an ally of South Korea during the Korean War. This was due to the American interest of stopping the spread of communism. As North Korea had (and continues to have) a communist government, the U.S. saw this as a threat. On the other hand, North Korea was backed by the Soviet Union.
