Question

what was the political outcome of the korean war?
○ korea united under an independent communist government.
○ korea united under a democratic government.
○ china seized the peninsula, annexing korea to china.
○ the division of the korean peninsula remained unchanged.

Explanation:

The Korean War ended in 1953 with an armistice, not a formal peace treaty. This agreement maintained the pre-war division of the Korean Peninsula along the 38th parallel, creating separate North Korea (Communist) and South Korea (democratic). None of the other options match the historical outcome: Korea was not unified under a single government, and China did not annex the peninsula.

Answer:

The division of the Korean peninsula remained unchanged.
