Answer: The Soviet Union was going to occupy Korea north of the 38 parallel and the United States was going to occupy Korea in the south.
Step-by-step explanation:
Korea had been under Japan from the year 1910 and when the war was coming to a close, the allied leaders had to decide what to do with the peninsula.
It was decided that the Soviets would control the North of the peninsula and the U.S. would control the south as Korea recovered enough to govern itself. These two superpowers however went ahead and formed rival governments in their spheres of control that led to the division of Korea which still stands today.
