The Korean War occurred during which years?

• A. 1948-1952
• B. 1950-1953
• C. 1953-1955
• D. 1955-1959

Answer: (B)

The timing of the Korean War depends on when fighting began and when it paused. The conflict started in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, and it effectively ended with the Korean Armistice in 1953 (July 27, 1953). There was no formal peace treaty, so the war is remembered as 1950–1953. The other date ranges don’t fit because the war did not begin in 1948, nor did it stretch into 1955 or later after the armistice.
