Korea was separated after WWII when Allied Forced namely the USSR occupied the North and The USA occupied the South. They divided the peninsula on the 38th parallel. In 1950 North Korea invaded South Korea in an effort to reunify the country but was eventually pushed back by US forces. It remains divided to this day.
