Technically speaking, the Korean War is longest running conflict in modern history. When the fighting reached its conclusion in 1953, an armistice was signed between North and South Korea, but a peace agreement was never reached. However, that doesn’t mean that the notoriously reclusive and tyrannical North Korea has never tried to create a peace treaty.
State Department spokesman John Kirby recently admitted that Pyongyang wanted to discuss a potential peace treaty earlier this year, but the Obama administration wouldn’t have it unless the regime took steps to dismantle their nuclear program. After North Korea refused, the administration changed its tune and suggested that their nuclear program should at least be a part of the discussion. North Korea again refused, and the peace talks were dropped after they tested a nuclear weapon on January 6th.
