The US controlled the southern part of Korea while the norther part was controlled by the Soviet Union. The country split on the 38th parallel and the north is communist the south is non communist.
USSR
I believe the Soviets were occupying North Korea because of the Communism.
After the defeat of Japan in 1945, the 38th parallel was chosen to divide the Korean peninsula into two US and Soviet occupied zones. The line dividing North and South Korea is still often referred to as the 38th parallel, but the border is no longer parallel to the equator and rather runs diagonally across the peninsula.
