What is recognized as the dividing line between North and South Korea?
17th Parallel
Blue Line
Green LIne
38th Parallel
The 38th parallel is the name given to latitude 38° N that in East Asia roughly marks the border between North Korea and South Korea. The division between North and South Korea occurred after World War II, ending the Empire of Japan’s rule over Korea in 1945. The United States and the Soviet Union each occupied a portion of the country, with the boundary between their zones of control along the 38th parallel. With the onset of the Cold War, the United States supported the South, and the Soviet Union supported the North. The subsequent Korean War left the two Koreas separated by the Korean Demilitarized Zone up to the present day.
Correct Answer: 38th Parallel
