The Soviet Union declared war on Japan, as a result of an agreement with the United States, and liberated Korea north of the 38th parallel.

Korea was split into two regions, with separate governments. Both governments claimed to be the legitimate government of all of Korea, and neither side accepted the border as permanent. The conflict escalated into open warfare when North Korean forces—supported by the Soviet Union and China—moved into the south on 25 June 1950
