The Korean Peninsula was once a single nation 🇰🇷 until Japan annexed it in 1910 and ruled for 35 years, right up to the end of World War II ⚔️ Just days before Japan’s surrender, Soviet troops entered from the north, while U.S. forces advanced from the south 🚩 To prevent full Soviet control, the U.S. proposed a temporary division along the 38th parallel, but Cold War tensions turned it into a permanent split, creating two states with opposing ideologies 🟥🟦 In 1950, North Korea launched a war to reunify the peninsula by force 💥 South Korea called for help, and U.S.-led UN forces pushed nearly to the Chinese border ✈️ China then sent hundreds of thousands of “volunteers,” while the USSR provided weapons, equipment, and air support 🚀 The front line shifted back to the 38th parallel, where neither side could gain an advantage ⚖️ A ceasefire was signed in 1953, one that still holds to this day ⏳
