I apologize, but your question seems to be incomplete or incorrect. It is unclear which event you are referring to. However, I can explain some key events that led to the Korean War and the division of Korea.
After World War II, Korea was under Japanese colonial rule. Following Japan's surrender in 1945, the Allies had to decide what should happen to Korea. The United States and the Soviet Union agreed to divide Korea at the 38th parallel, with the Soviet Union occupying the north and the United States occupying the south. This division aimed to be temporary until a unified Korean government could be established.
Over time, ideological differences between the two occupying powers grew. In the north, a communist regime under Kim Il-sung was established with Soviet support, while in the south, a pro-Western government led by Syngman Rhee was established with American support. Efforts to reunify the country and establish a new government failed, leading to the establishment of separate governments and the solidification of the division.
On June 25, 1950, North Korea launched a surprise invasion of South Korea, seeking to reunify the country by force. The United Nations, with U.S. involvement, intervened to support South Korea. This marked the beginning of the Korean War.
In regards to the formation of the demilitarized zone (DMZ), it was established as part of the Armistice Agreement that ended the Korean War in 1953. It divides the Korean Peninsula at the 38th parallel, roughly following the pre-war division of North and South Korea. The DMZ serves as a buffer zone between the two countries, and it is heavily fortified on both sides.
To summarize, the division of Korea between the Soviets and the United States, and the subsequent failure to establish a unified government, led to the Korean War. The formation of the demilitarized zone was a result of the armistice agreement that ended the war.
