In reply to: Revised Eisenhower Topic 's message, "Mr. Davis" on Friday, February 08, 10:09:55am

President Eisenhower promised to end the Korean War, and the way he went about doing this was the most significant foreign policy event of his career. He made a secret trip to Korea to try and make peace. Once there, he not only revived peace talks, but also visited American soldiers near the front lines. Eight months after Eisenhower returned to America, in July 1953, an Armistice was signed which identified the 38th parallel as the official border between North and South Korea, and it was made a demilitarized zone.
Eisenhower's expert handling of this situation not only showed that America, along with other countries in the UN, was capable of effectively ending a war without resorting to the use of nuclear weapons, but also spared thousands of American lives, as soldiers were able to return home one the war was over.
