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.
