It all started after WWII when Russia and the US chose what to do with Korea. They divided it by the 38th parallel, North going to Soviet Russia (communist) and South going to the US (democracy). This led to the division of the country and government.

Korea was split into North and South after the Korean War, the North having a Communist government and the South a democratic government. This was done after the signing of the armistice (not to be confused with a peace treaty which has never been signed...therefore the two countries are still technically at war) to stop the fighting..

so, basically it was cuz they had a war.

Because the two greatest countries, Russia and U.S. wanted to control Korea.
