Today in Canada’s Political History: The Korean War ends
After three-years of bloodshed that included the deaths of more than 500 Canadians, the Korean War came to an end on this date in 1953. Canada had been at the forefront of United Nations’ military efforts since the war started three-years previously. Almost 30,000 Canadians served during the conflict. The armistice, stopping the war, was signed on July 27, 1953.
While serving as President of the UN General Assembly afterwards, Canada’s Lester Pearson summed up the conflict from the international body’s standpoint: “From the experience we have, I hope, learned some lessons,” he said during a speech at the UN. “One is that collective action against aggression can work, even when that action is incomplete, in organization, support and participation. Korea, then, has been a vindication of the principle of collective action, but even more, it has shown what could be done if all members of the United Nations were willing, collectively, to pay the price to make such action effective.
