When did the korean and vietnam wars start and end?
May 21, 2010 - Posted in Vietnam Vacation
I need to know when the vietnam and north korean wars started and ended. Although an exact date would be nice all I need is the start and end year. And only make an answer if you know for sure!
The Korean War started on June 25th, 1950. A ceasefire was signed on July 27th, 1953. However, technically, the war isn’t over, as a peace treaty was never signed.
The dates surrounding the Vietnam War and the role of the US is more murky. The war started off as an insurgency is South Vietnam. This began in 1956. The United States support for the South Vietnamese government increased when JFK sent military advisors to Vietnam. American involvement escalted into full combat in 1965. American involvement in the war officially ended in January 27, 1973 with the Paris Peace Accords. The war itself ended on April 30, 1975.

I know that actual fighting on our part started in 1967 and ended in April 1975 when Saigon fell to the reds.
In Korea, I only know it was around 1951-2.

The Korean War has not ended. We’ve just been in a truce.
Most say Vietnam ended with the 1975 fall of Saigon, but some fighting continued after that.
