HISTORY: Founded in 1945, North Korea controlled the half of Korea which the Soviets took in the final stages of World War 2. The government was set up to be communist, to help oppose the Democratic South Korea, the other half which was taken from Japan by the U.S. Tensions rose, until 1950, when North Korea launched a sudden invasion of South Korea, they succeeded, pushing the rest of the South Korean forces to a small area, to the very most South - Eastern part of the Korean peninsula. They would have eliminated South Korea for good, if the U.S. led U.N. didn't intervene. This caused quite the opposite of what had just happened, with the North Koreans almost pushed to the Chinese Border. This caused the Chinese and Soviets to aid the North Koreans, pushing back the U.N. once more, almost to the same spot as when the North Koreans first invaded South Korea. This went on, back and forth, for basically the entire war, until they came to a standstill, and had agreed to set their borders at the infamous 38th parallel. Tensions have been high ever since.
