On 27 July 1946, Paris emerged from the shadow of war, though the city remained marked by recent occupation and struggle. The Austrian State Treaty, which came into effect exactly nine years later in 1955, would eventually free another European nation from Allied control, though the memory of such political divisions remained fresh. That same year saw the signing of an armistice that would divide the Korean Peninsula indefinitely, creating consequences that would shape global politics for decades.
