Korea was divided by the 38th parallel in the year 1945.
The Soviet Union occupied the northern part of Korea (down to the 38th parallel, e.g. 38 degrees N) and the United States occupied the southern part of Korea (up to the 38th parallel, e.g. 38 degrees N).In 1948, these occupied countries would declare independence.
When Japan was defeated by the USA and the USSR (who had very recently recently decided to declare war on Japan after the fall of the Nazis and at the request of President Truman), Korea, a territory of Japan since 1910, was split in half much like Nazi Germany was divided between the victorious Allies. The Northern half of Korea belonged to the USSR, and the Southern Half to the USA-- this is also the root of North Korean Communism, the reason why the Korean War erupted (when Comunist North Korea tried to take over South Korea), and why there are two Koreas today.
I think the 38th Parallel was decided in 1945, but it did not become enforced immediately so that Koreans who wished to relocate could do so. In the closing days of World War 2, the Soviet Union drove the Japanese out of northern Korea and the USA landed in southern Korea. They agreed the border of the two occupied zones should be roughly the 38th parallel. The two countries are still based on this division.
North Korea was founded when WW2 ended in 1945. Korea was divided up between the communist world and the free world; just as Germany was divided the same year by the same people...East and West Germany.

you should tell me because I don't no the answer
Korea was divided into Soviet and U.S. zones of occupation, with the latter becoming the Republic of Korea in August 1948. It was part of Japan's occupied lands during World War 2 until 1945.
Korea was divided in 1945, and remained divided in 1953, and is still divided today. Vietnam was divided in 1954 at the end of the French Indochina War (aka: 1st Indochina War).
