Analysis How a last-ditch attempt to unify Korea cemented an all but permanent divisionGeneva Conference sought to replace armistice agreement that ended Korean War, but only succeeded in splitting Vietnam  Seventy years ago, after months of bitter negotiations, the U.S., China and North Korea signed the armistice agreement that brought an end to active fighting in the Korean War, detailing the terms of ceasefire and division.
