Korea was divided at the end of World War II in 1948 at the 38th Parallel with the two nations having utterly opposed political, economic, and social systems. North Korea was established as a communist state and South Korea a democratic state. The Korean War began with North Korea launching a surprise invasion of South Korea in 1950. This effectively ended hopes of a peaceful reunification of the two nations. There was no real resolution to the dispute, and it effectively ended with a stalemate when North Korea was pushed back to the 38th Parallel. No peace treaty was ever signed. Subsequent relations between the two nations have been historically tense.
