Two army colonels in the Pentagon Dean Rusk and Charles Bonesteel were asked to divide the Korean peninsula. They used the 38th parallel because the capital, Seoul, would then be included in the American zone.

∙ 12y agoThe two countries to divide Korea was majorly Russia and USA. Russia which was in a Dictatorship back than (became democracy now) helped North Korea to be dictatorship also. On the other hand, USA which was democracy, helped South Korea becoming a democracy government. By the separation of this country, many villages and family members were separated. Now days there are many programs located in South Korea that reminds people of combined Korea,and programs that help people find their separated family members to see but not live with. (dictatorship countries do not allow their citizens leaving their country)
