Today History # : Signing the Armistice Agreement for the Korean War
The armistice agreement was signed on July 27, 1953, three years and a month after the outbreak of the Korean War and two years after the start of ceasefire negotiations. Lt. Gen. Harrison, the representative of the United Nations, and Nam Il, the representative of North Korea, signed 18 cease-fire documents.
On June 22, President Lee met with U.N. Commander Clark and proposed three terms of Seoul's agreement on the truce: signing the Korea-U.S. mutual defense treaty, withdrawing Chinese troops immediately, and setting a deadline for the Geneva political talks. As the situation showed no signs of resolution, President Eisenhower sent Robert the envoy to Korea, proposing the condition that the two countries conclude a mutual defense treaty within this year, and winning approval for the July 24 ceasefire. 0 reply

The face of the Statue of Liberty. Isabella Boyer's life is like an exciting novel. She was born in Paris, the daughter of an African pastry chef and an English mother. Isabella had a special beauty and, at age 20, she married Isaac Singer, the sewing machine maker, who was 50 years old. After Singer's death, Isabella became the richest woman in the country. It is not surprising that she was chosen as the model for the Statue of Liberty, as she embodied the American dream. Widowed, Isabella traveled the world and married the Dutch violinist Victor Robstett, becoming a countess. He became a prominent figure in America and Europe, and met the French sculptor FrΓ©dΓ©ric Bartholdi at a world event. Bartholdi, impressed by her beauty and history, used her face as a model for the Statue of Liberty. Isabella married a third time and died in Paris in 1904 at age 62, but her face lives on in the iconic statue in New York, symbolizing freedom and American pride.
