1. Story
2. North Korean forces crossed the thirty-eighth parallel on 25 June 1950; a United Nations force led by the United States intervened, drove north toward the Chinese border, and was thrown back when Chinese forces entered in late 1950. The front stabilised near the original dividing line in 1951 and the remaining two years were fought over small changes to it while armistice talks continued. Soviet pilots flew combat missions, which neither side acknowledged at the time — the clearest illustration of the rule that direct engagement between the two powers had to be deniable. Casualty estimates vary widely and include very large civilian losses. The armistice signed at Panmunjom on 27 July 1953 established a demilitarised zone and has never been replaced by a peace treaty.

24. Evidence
25. Named as the general narrative authority behind this pack's framing of the period, and cited in the Journey's own declared references. V55 verification basis: NOT consulted in this session. It is also a work with a definite interpretive position — broadly, that Soviet conduct drove the confrontation and that Western pressure and Soviet internal failure ended it — and this pack cites it as one reading rather than as a neutral summary.
