The Korean War, (often called the Korean Conflict), began on June 25, 1950 when North Korean forces crossed the 38th Parallel and attacked U. S. and South Korean forces. After more than three years of fighting, on July 27, 1953 North Korean representatives signed an Armistice. The Korean War was the first war that jet aircraft and helicopters played a major role.
