why the korea devided into two countries? how ? why?

Answer 1

There was a war all about that - not that long ago.

Answer 2

The unconditional surrender of Japan, the earlier collapse of Nazi Germany, combined with fundamental shifts in global politics and ideology, led to the division of Korea into two occupation zones effectively starting on September 8, 1945, with the United States administering the southern half of the peninsula and the Soviet Union taking over the area north of the 38th parallel.

This division was meant to be temporary and was first intended to return a unified Korea back to its people until the United States, United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and Republic of China could arrange a trusteeship administration

On December 12, 1948, by its resolution 195 in the Third General Assembly, United Nation recognised Republic of Korea as the sole legal government of Korea. In June 1950 the Korean War broke out when North Korea breached the 38th parallel line to invade the South, ending any hope of a peaceful reunification for the time being.

Answer 3

Korea was divided into seperate provinces after it was a battleground it WWII. Much like Germany/Berlin/Europe, it was divided into zones of control, one of which belonged to the USSR. They locked down all contact with the rest of Korea and enouraged them to form a new government.

In the 1950's, North Korea, receiving funding and supplies from the Soviet Union, made an attack on South Korea. The UN eventually mobilized an army to protect the South Koreans. This army was made mostly of US soldiers and headed by the general of the Pacific theatre Douglas MacArthur.

After brutal fighting, the UN force recaptured all of what the North Koreans had taken, but they continued fighting through North Korea. As they approached the Chineese border, the Chineese got more and more ticked off. They eventually launched a counterattack with drove the UN forces back to where the border had been before.

Thousands of men died on both sides and the border barely moved.

Answer 4

"With the defeat of Japan in 1945, the United Nations developed plans for a trusteeship administration by the Soviet Union and the United States, but the plan was abandoned upon the spontaneous anti-trusteeship demonstrations in South and reluctance in North. In 1948, the new governments were established in each sphere of influence, the southern half establishing the democratic government of the Republic of Korea and the communist regime of Kim Il-sung largely controlled by the Soviet Union was established above 38th parallel. The unsolved problems of the division of the country came head-to-head in the Korean war of 1950, when North Korea invaded South Korea."

Answer 5

Korea became chop up into North and South after the Korean conflict,the North having a Communist government and South democratic government.This became performed after the signing of armistice (to not be puzzled with a peace treaty which has under no circumstances been signed...hence the two international locations are technically at conflict) to end the combating. In end they chop up because of the fact the North became Communist and the South became democratic.

Answer 6

because the north took influence from communist Russia.. and china i guess.. and south took influence from the u.s. they split up by dividing along the 38th? 42nd? something like that parallel lol.. did it in the late 40's-early 50's period.. that's why they had the korean war.. and they are still at war.. just sit there watching each other in the demilitarized zone.
