∙ 13y agoThe countries did start out as one.
The division of Korea occured when the aftermath of Worls War II left the northern part of Korea under Soviet occupation and the south under the occupation of the other allied countries.
This separated Korea, making two different countries. Soon Soviet-ruled North Korea invaded South Korea, resulting in the Korean War. Many were killed, and the countries have remained divided ever since.
