By agreement, the Soviet Union received the surrender of Japanese forces north of the 38th parallel. South of that line, the Japanese surrendered to the Americans. It was agreed that Korea would become a united, democratic country based on free elections, but dates were not specified. Instead, it soon became clear that the Iron Curtain had become established across the Korean Peninsula at the 38th Parallel.
