The 38th Parallel on the globe, same as today. That border was established by the Allies at the end of World War 2 in 1945, and it remained the border at the end of the Korean War in 1953. In World War 2 it was decided that North Korea would be liberated by the USSR, and South Korea would be liberated by the US.
