How did Korea become a divided nation after WWII?
best answer = 10 points!
Although it had been occupied by Japan for decades before World War II, Korea wasn't directly involved in outside fighting during the war, so while there was a guerilla movement there, Neither the Americans nor the Russians conquered it from the Japanese before the surrender.
As part of the peace settlement, the Americans took responsibility for Korea South of the 38th parallel, and the Soviet Union took the area north of that line. Both powers encouraged governments friendly to their own interests. The Soviets backed a communist regime for the north, and the Americans encouraged the anti-communist Syngman Rhee, who became dictator of South Korea.
