Korea was split into North and South Korea after World War 2 in 1945. Now North Korea is a communist country ruled by Kim Jong Un and South Korea is a free republic lead by President Park Geun-hye.

Back before World War II, Korea was a Japanese colony. During the war, the United States and the Soviet Union captured Korea from the Japanese, "temporarily" dividing the country in half along the 38th parallel. After the war, the United States and the Soviet Union disagreed over what kind of government Korea should have. The Americans set up a (kind of) democratic government while the Russians set up a communist government. This led to the Korean War, with both governments seeking to take over the whole country. The war ended in a stalemate and Korea has remained divided ever since.

During World War II, the United States and the Soviet Union divided the country along the 38th parallel while taking it back from Japanese occupation, with the Americans taking back the area south of the38th parallel and the Sovietstaking back the area north of the38th parallel. Thedivision was meant to be temporary, but after the war, the Americans and the Soviets disagreed on what kind of government Korea should have. Therefore, both set up a different government on their side of the38th parallel. Soon, these rival government became known as North Korea and South Korea.
