The 1962 Sino-Indian War ended with a unilateral ceasefire declared by China on November 21, 1962. Chinese troops withdrew from the eastern sector (between present-day Arunachal Pradesh in India and Tibet in China) but retained control over a significant portion of the Aksai Chin region in Ladakh. The war severely damaged bilateral ties, militarized the border, and created long-term tensions between the two neighbors. The boundary separating Indian- and Chinese-controlled territory came to be known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC).
