Abstract

The division of Korean peninsula was actually the product of global powers. The historical background shows that severely the Korean peninsula was defeated but never divided. The World War Second was the incident that divided the Korean peninsula into Capitalist and Communist parts. Southern part took a shelter behind the U.S. and Northern behind the USSR. Initially the division was the interest of both governments because the leaders of two sides did not want to lose the regime. So they kept involve their allies external powers for pressurizing the rivals instead of making distance from external powers. External powers continue their role in this issue for fulfilling their own ambitions and interests
