The Korean warfare is technically not over all thats keeping the two sides from going to war again is a cease-fire agreement. * The Korean War brought the US and Russia further apart, and the fear of communism would later lead the US to throw itself into Vietnam, to avoid another North Korea. * It as well brought china into conflict with the US, bringing bad feelings amongst the two countries which would last for decades. To this day, American troops are staitioned along the border among the Koreas and there are still reports of sporadic firing. * The war also created a strong bond between federation Korea and the get together States. * Syngman Rhees southern regime became even more dictatorial, and in 1960 he resigned after student riots. south Korea solely became more unst equal to(p) with his departure, and it is only in the last two decades that in the south Korea has really seen sustained frugal growth. * In North Korea, Kim Il-sung developed a full-scale personality cult, and rulight-emitting diode until his death in 1994.
