Heloo!

The correct option is A. It resulted in the division of Korea into two nations.

Before the Second World War, Korea was under Japanese control but when Japan surrendered, the United States and the URSS split Korea into two nations. The United States occupied the North and the URSS occupied the South temporarily but with the growing of the Cold War things changed. The relationship between the United States and the URSS got worse and it led to the Korean war.

Hope this helps.

The answer is A. World War II contribute to dividing Korea into South and North Korea.  

EXPLANATION

Korea is divided into two after Japan suffered defeat in World War II. Then South Korea is controlled by America while North is by the Soviet Union. Each country has its own government. The North Korean government prioritized communism, led by Kim II-Sung until now continued by his descent. In 1950, North Korea invited South Korea to make peace and become one under communism. But this did not work. Until now South and North Korea remained separate from their respective ideologies. In 2018 the two countries try to hold a meeting to discuss peace.  

In fact, South Korea became a more developed country than North Korea. They have a wide enough openness to the world so they must develop faster. North Korea with their ideology chose to be more reclusive, so they seem like a mysterious country. This was coupled with the military power they exalted (in this case nuclear).
