Whales fight with shrimps. This is an ancient Korean proverb, which means "when big whales fight, small shrimps suffer", but it has become a true portrayal of the post-war fate of the Korean Peninsula. The division of the Korean Peninsula began when the United States and the Soviet Union implemented a partition and occupation policy on North Korea under the name of trusteeship, using the 38th Parallel as the boundary. The competition between the United States and the Soviet Union for the "power vacuum zone" became increasingly fierce on a global scale, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Cold War. The United States and the Soviet Union turned from cooperation to confrontation on the Korean Peninsula. The confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union on the Korean issue was actually a confrontation between two ideologies and political systems. The Korean Peninsula thus became a "battlefield" for direct ideological confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States and the Soviet Union adopted different occupation policies, which had a profound impact on the political, economic, and social development of the northern and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula. After more than three years of occupation by the United States and the Soviet Union, two political and economic entities with completely different development directions emerged in the northern and southern parts of the Korean Peninsula. The division of the Korean Peninsula is no longer a geographical division, but a more profound political system division. The fate of the Korean Peninsula's division was doomed from the day the United States and the Soviet Union occupied North Korea, and the emergence of two different political and economic entities paved the way for the outbreak of the Korean War in the future.
