North Korea is communist, and South Korea is democratic. The Korean War had ended in a stalemate (when neither side gets a victory) so they remained split apart, and with different governments.

Who supported North Korea After World War 2 Korea was divided into two countries.?

The division of Korea into two states took place after WW2. Korea had been controlled by Japan since 1905. When the Soviet Union declared war on Japan in 1945 it quickly occupied Korea. After the surrender of Japan in 1945 the southern half of Korea was almost immediately turned over to US control. The United States had been at war with Japan since 1941. The Cold War between the US and the Soviet Union resulted in the establishment of two separate and hostile nations in 1948; the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). In 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea, with the support of the Soviet Union and the People's Republic of China. South Korea was supported by the United States and the United Nations. The Korean War, 1950-1953, ended in a stalemate, with basically the same borders that existed in 1950. These borders are contested by both sides, and are technically a temporary truce line. North Korea was established and supported by the Soviet Union. South Korea was established and supported by the United States. The division between the two Koreas is artificial, a result of WW2 and global political rivalry during the Cold War. After the demise of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War the People's Republic of China has become the principal ally and supporter of North Korea. The communist People's Republic of China came into existence in 1948, the same year the partition of Korea took place. US troops continue to be stationed in South Korea, and the relationship between the two Koreas is hostile and often volatile. North Korea's development of nuclear weapons contributes greatly to this volatility, as does its severe economic problems. South Korea, in contrast, has developed one of the world's most prosperous national economies.


Why was Korea divided after world war 2?

Well, I live in Korea right now so I know :). Long time ago a part of Korean people wanted to have one religion and one religion only that people could believe in, and that was aithiesm (don't know how to spell that cuz I'm just 11) . They didn't agree to free choice of religion.But then other Koreans wanted to have a free choice of religion and they wanted freedom.The two parts each wanted Korea two be their way, but it couldn't work that way. So then the counsel and the government decided they would devide Korea into two, Aithesm and free choice of religion. North Korea would have only the one religion, and the people in South Korea would have a free choice of religion. Hope I made you understand more about Korea.
