Korea was occupied in the Northern half by the communists (Soviet Union at first) and the Southern Korea area was governed and inhabited by Koreans who managed to get out of North Korea or were natives of South Korea. The North Koreans went across the designated border in 1950 to over take South Korean in the "Korean War". They were driven back by UN forces. The war is not over technically and the Northern Koreans have not been liberated from the communists yet.
