The term "Korean Conflicts" primarily refers to the tensions and hostilities between North Korea and South Korea, which began after the end of World War II. In 1950, the Korean War broke out when North Korea invaded South Korea, leading to a three-year conflict that ended in 1953 with an armistice agreement, but no formal peace treaty was signed. This division created a heavily militarized border known as the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Since the war, both countries have experienced significant political and economic differences. North Korea has maintained a communist regime, while South Korea has developed into a democratic and economically advanced nation. Ongoing disputes over territory, nuclear weapons, and human rights issues continue to fuel tensions, making the Korean Peninsula a focal point of international relations.
