Our involvement in Korea was not a war. It was a Conflict. Money stopped it. The Korean War "stopped" due to an armistice (cease-fire agreement) signed by representatives of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the People's Republic of China, the Soviet Union and the United States. The armistice was signed on July 27, 1953 at Panmunjom, North Korea. Technically the war is not over as there has never been a peace treaty signed.
General Eisenhower flew out there heavily guarded. As a result an armistice was signed in July 1953.
Red China's entry into the war.
1953
The war ended in a stalemate.
The Soviet Union (Russia) under Joseph Stalin supported the North Korean move into South Korea, starting the Korean War in 1950. Joseph Stalin died of natural causes in March 1953. The Korean war ended in July 1953.
Though the Korean War ended in a stalemate, it has only worked out positively for the United States since then. Still, at the time, Americans were tired of the war by it's end in 1953. They were tired of Americans dying overseas, and money being spent on a problem that was not America's to deal with.
Truman at the start and Eisenhower at the end
The Korean War in Phase 3 turned into a stalemate as both belligerent parties were not interested in the total defeat of their opponents (which would very well have sparked WW3), but in getting the most advantage of position and geography when negotiations finally ended the war. This is why Phase 3 was characterized as fights for specific geographic locations, as those positions would influence where the new border would be drawn after the armistice was eventually signed. UN forces refused to use nuclear weapons to end the stalemate. The UN had the advantage in firepower; the communists had a vast numerical advantage.

No, stalemate is a chess term, meaning an end with no winner. As long as the Cold War lasted and both sides were still able to one-up each other, it was not a stalemate.
