Solution

The parallel that divided Korea is the 38th parallel. This line of latitude runs across the middle of the Korean Peninsula, separating North Korea and South Korea. The division was established at the end of World War II in 1945 when the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to divide the country into two zones of influence. The 38th parallel was chosen as the dividing line because it roughly splits the peninsula in half.
