After World War II, the Korean Peninsula was divided into two separate zones of occupation along the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union controlling the north and the United States controlling the south. This division eventually led to the establishment of two distinct governments: the communist Democratic People's Republic of Korea in the north and the capitalist Republic of Korea in the south. Tensions between the two resulted in the Korean War (1950-1953), which solidified the division and created a heavily militarized border that persists to this day. The conflict ended with an armistice, but no formal peace treaty was signed, leaving the two Koreas technically still at war.
