It was one step, but it represented the possibility of lasting peace for North and South Korea.


Kim Jong-Un, the leader of North Korea, walked to the border between his country and South Korea ... and stepped over it, into South Korea.


There, he shook hands with South Korean leader Moon Jae-in.


It was a joining together not just of two leaders, but of two countries that have been at war for 65 years.


The Korean War began on June 25, 1950 and, although fighting ended in 1953 (when an armistice* was declared), no peace treaty was signed by both countries. Officially the two countries remained at war.
