What were the dates for the Korean Conflict?

The correct answer identifies the period of the Korean Conflict, which is significant in American and world history. The Korean Conflict officially began on June 25, 1950, when North Korean forces crossed the 38th parallel into South Korea, prompting a military response from the United Nations, primarily led by the United States. The conflict continued until an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953, which means that while the dates in the choice do not include the signing of the armistice, they generally refer to the active period of military involvement and related events leading up to the armistice.

The other date ranges provided in the choices correspond to different military operations or conflicts unrelated to the Korean Conflict. For instance, the dates in the remaining options pertain to events such as the Persian Gulf War and various military operations in the late 20th century, but they do not relate to the timeline of the Korean Conflict. Recognizing the correct date range helps in understanding the historical context and the timeline of U.S. military involvement in Korea.
