An armistice is an agreement to cease hostility without one side winning and one side losing. WWI and the Korean War ended in what was essentailly a stalemeate. It was better to end not declaring a winner because the cost of dragging out the fighting would have been too great in terms of the number of lives lost and the amount of money spent.

In the United States and across Europe, there is VE day, Victory in Europe. In the US there is a VP, Victory in the Pacific. They are not Federal Holiday because Veterans Day was established to honor all our Veterans regardless of what war they fought in. Veterans Day was established by President Wilson in 1919. As such, it predates the VE and VP days.
