The 38th parallel was established as a dividing line between North and South Korea at the end of World War II in 1945. It was primarily determined by American military planners, with the decision made during discussions between U.S. and Soviet officials. The line was intended as a temporary measure for the occupation of Korea, but it ultimately solidified into the boundary that led to the Korean War.
