At the end of World War II, Korea was divided into two zones of occupation along the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the northern part and the United States taking the south. This division was part of a broader agreement among the Allies to dismantle Japanese control over Korea after Japan's defeat. The Soviets aimed to establish a communist regime in the north as a buffer against Western influence, leading to the establishment of North Korea. This arrangement was formalized in the context of post-war territorial negotiations and the emerging Cold War dynamics.
