8 Korean War Comic Strips “1953 Armistice and DMZ” 8 From , fighting was at a stalemate, with little territorial change. Leaders met to negotiate but combat and UN bombing continued. Negotiations stalled because many North Korean POWs did not want to be returned to the north. A 1953 armistice established a new border almost exactly where the 38th parallel once stood as a temporary border. Also, a 2.5 mile-wide demilitarized zone was established between the borders. The bodies of over 4,000 U.S. soldiers were exchanged for over 13,000 North Korean bodies as part of the truce. North Korea claims to have won the war even though North and South Korea still exist as separate states today.
