Introduction
The border between North and South Korea is one of the most famously contentious frontiers in the world.
The two countries, once a single state, were partitioned after the end of the Second World War.
Although originally intended as a temporary boundary to separate the Soviet-occupied north from the American-occupied south, the Korean War and the emerging politics of the Cold War solidified this separation, and two distinct countries emerged.
In this July 2023 episode of popular historian Dan Snow's podcast History Hit, he is joined by academics Dr. Ramon Pacheco Pardo and Dr. Victor Cha to untangle the history of Korea's division.
