C
a high number of casualties for the nations involved
D
the return of Korea as a Japanese colony
E
the creation of a demilitarized zone near the 38th parallel
F
a unified government that rules both North and South Korea
Explanation
The Korean War ended in an armistice in 1953, not a peace treaty, and Korea remained divided into North Korea and South Korea. The fighting caused a very high number of military and civilian casualties. The armistice established a demilitarized zone near the 38th parallel; it did not reunify Korea or restore Japanese rule.
