Answer:

Russia controlled the Northern half until North Korea became its own nation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The only reason why Russia controlled the northern half of Korea was the agreement with America and the former Soviet Union. The Japaneses had control of the entire Korean Peninsula from 1910 to until the demise of the Empire of Japan after it's surrender in World War II in 1945.
