The war ended in a stalemate.
Somme
A stalemate.
The stalemate generally refers to the Trench warfare in France 1915-1918.
The Korean War in Phase 3 turned into a stalemate as both belligerent parties were not interested in the total defeat of their opponents (which would very well have sparked WW3), but in getting the most advantage of position and geography when negotiations finally ended the war. This is why Phase 3 was characterized as fights for specific geographic locations, as those positions would influence where the new border would be drawn after the armistice was eventually signed. UN forces refused to use nuclear weapons to end the stalemate. The UN had the advantage in firepower; the communists had a vast numerical advantage.
