[The Glitch #11] Peace and The Endless War: The Korean Armistice Agreement
July 27, 2023 — 70 years ago, The Korean War (1950-1953) came to a halt with the signing of The Armistice Agreement. While this document didn’t necessarily end the war, it did end a tragic and devastating conflict and finally bring peace and stability to the people of this land. In the subsequent decades, the two Koreas have experienced vastly different fortunes. In Episode 11 of “The Glitch,” Asia Society Korea Senior Contributor David Tizzard and Guest Contributor Jasmine Ko travel to the 38th Parallel to see firsthand the line that divides these people and explore the history and ramifications of the document that secures our safety.
