Step-by-step explanation:

1. In 1948 the Korea Peninsula was divided between a Soviet-backed government in the north and an American-backed government in the south. War broke out along the 38th parallel on June 25, 1950.

2. North Korean troops coordinated an attack at several strategic points along the parallel and headed south toward Seoul.

3. The division of Korea into two halves had come at the end of World War II.

There you go! <3 :)
