Can we use the present perfect in this case?


In Korea, we learned that we should use the past tense when the subject is an historical event, as in "The Korean war broke out in 1950."


However, I think that when the event continues to affect the present (now), we should use the present perfect.



So I think that we can say 'The Korean war has broken out in 1950.'


Am I right?
