South Korea has been always known to be in controversies for being separate from North Korea. The entire nation was considered to be one in the early time.
At the end of World War II in 1945 and after the occupation of the United States and the Soviet Union to the Korean Peninsula, the Korean Provisional Government in exile and the Korean Communist Party were victors, but in 1948 Korea gained its independence in two different countries which today are North Korea and South Korea.
But after all civil war, it had been necessarily split and divided into two nations,
