Korean War suspended with a Cease Fire

For explaining the question that is why the Korean War was suspended with a cease fire in July 1953, it is important that the knowledge or the reasons of the war should be in mind. The North Korean government became the “black sheep” of the difficult situation facing the world, and showing signs of what was described by experts as “warlike spirit”, decided to cancel their dialogue with the regime South Korea and Japan threatened with reprisals because the country launched its first “spy satellites” to warn the North Koreans are willing to defend any “military threat”.

The only contact he had with regular military command of the United Nations Organization (UN), to monitor compliance with the Armistice Agreement of the Korean War, signed on July 27, 1953, was suspended by the government North Korea in a move “unwelcome” by the international public opinion and by the countries concerned, who fail to “understand the reason for that position.”
