1953: Korean War ends

DATE: July 1953

DESCRIPTION: This event highlights the end of the Korean War. This also is the time where Korea gets split into North and South by the Korean Armistice Agreement which also provided monitoring by an international commission.

BLAME: The tension increase was due to the fact that both the North and the South have equal amounts of land that split them apart. This can mean that the battle of ideologies are split half and half as no clear winner is determined form the events that happened throughout the Korean war. The split can be used as a visual metaphor as well, as the Korean peninsula is split half and half represents the power of the communists are half and the power of the capitalist are half meaning the Cold War is not in anyone favour. The one here to blame is the ideologies because again the Korean War is fought mainly between two very different ideologies that would clash but not accept each other, finally blowing it up to a fully fledged war between North and South and the between communism and capitalism.

TENSION INCREASE: The end of the Korean War marks the division of the North and the South that is still in effect today. After an end to the war the armistice agreement was set to monitor the two sides. The end of the Korean War gave way to some tension still arising towards the two, Russia and the USA. They are still both to blame at a split 50/50. +1
