To say that the Brits were the "greatest enemy" has no truth to it, imo. Enemy? sure. But that was momentary - soon as those conflicts ended, relations went more or less back to normal. The two were enormous commercial partners, remember. The second war, realistically, was more over not being "heard" than anything. Them both being English-speaking nations only aids it.

Korea, two different types of government, more or less the exact opposite of each other, both believing they should control Korea. Both claim the whole thing, and aim to govern it. There is a reason why the names "North" and "South" Korea aren't their actual names. That war has only ever had an armistice - more than fifty years worth. At this point, it has devolved to a long-lasting truce, as the "intent" of peace talks has never happened. That is, fyi, the goal of an armistice.
