Japan lost Korea at the end of World War II, setting the stage for the division of Korea. Detail the events that led to the creation of a North and South Korea
The Soviet Union and the U.S drew up plans to accept Japan's surrender on the Korean Peninsula, arbitrarily drawing a line at the 38th parallel. The Soviet Union would accept Japan's surrender north of that line and the United States south of that line. On either side of the line, the Soviet Union and the United States moved to set up governments that would be friendly to them. By 1948, the Soviet-style, Soviet-backed, Soviet-armed Democratic People's Republic of Korea was established in the north, while in the south, the Western-oriented Republic of South Korea was created under the auspices of the United Nations.
War came soon. On June 25, 1950, North Korean troops invaded the south and quickly took Seoul. America responded by sending in troops that fought under the United Nations flag. A cease fire was reached in 1953 that divided the countries along the 38th parallel.
