The allies, the Soviet Union and the US, agreed to divide Korea in 1948, with the former taking control of the north and the latter the south. They came to be known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea). The boundary between their zones of control was called the 38th parallel.
