The Korean Peninsula is home to North and South Korea, two countries that were separated by the 38th parallel after the Korean War ended with an armistice in 1953. This imaginary line, a legacy of the Cold War, separates North and South Korea into two completely different countries. North Korea is a communist dictatorship, poor, isolated by the international community with only a few allies in China and Russia. South Korea is a democracy, with an open capitalist economy, and has the United States, China's rival, and Russia as security allies. But as the Korean War has not truly ended and unification has not yet occurred, the Korean Peninsula is a geopolitical fragile point at risk of a return to hot war, especially as North Korea nears completion of its nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs).
