How was Korea divided after WW2 ended? Why did it split in two?

When the Japanese empire was dismantled at the end of World War Two, Korea fell victim to the Cold War. It was divided into two spheres of influence along the 38th parallel. The Americans controlled south of the line - the Russians installed a communist regime in the north, later ceding influence to China.

Answer:

Well, Korea was divided into two parts North Korea and South Korea. This happened after the Korean War, or the Forgotten War, which was happening while WW2 was happening. This war began in June 25 1950 and ended in July 27 1953. Why this happened is because 75,000 soldiers of the North Korea army invaded South Korea.

I don't know if this is the right answer, tell me if it is wrong, and please don't go too hard on me if it is, I'm new to brainly and started answering questions today. I'm just writing and telling you what I remember from my lesson in Korea. Yes I'm from South Korea, but I'm now living in America and was for a long time so I think i forgot lots of the lesson i learned about Korean history.

Sorry if it is wrong. I hope this help though.
