The Korean War Is Technically Still On. But So Is WW2?

Did you know that Russia and Japan still haven't signed a treaty to end World War II.

This is as technical as technical gets.
The Soviet and Japan governments issued a joint declaration in 1956 including a clause which said the war was over.
It just wasn't a "peace treaty" as such.

No. They're still arguing over the Kuril Islands which the Soviets seized after declaring war on Japan on August 8, 1945.

@Tracos [quote]I seem to recall that the Russians indicated they would declare ear on Japan at a date after they surrendered[/quote]

At the Yalta Conference in February 1945, the Soviets agreed to declare war on Japan 90 days after the eventual surrender of Germany (which was on May 8th).

On August 8th, the USSR informed Japan that it would be at war with them the next day.

@Tracos Russia ejected the Japanese Kwantung Army from Manchuria after the Americans dropped the atomic bombs on Japan - whether you technically call it a war the reality is that it was

Yes but Russia and Japan have shared geopolitical interest. Japan and China have dispute over some island and Russia can't sleep with China with both eyes closed.

Where warfare is concerned I doubt a signature or two will make much difference.

No, it's not. We have an armistice. No peace treaty has been signed, although Kim Un Jong and Donald Trump have indicated that may happen.

@beckyromero I don't see it starting again.

Hopefully it will finally end.
