Following the liberation from Japan, the country was divided along the 38th parallel into zones of occupation by the victorious Americans and Soviets. As a result, the Korean peninsula was divided into two countries.
A communist Soviet military regime was set up in the northern part of Korea. A new Supreme People's Assembly was elected in August 1948, and on September 3rd, 1948, a new constitution was promulgated. On September 9th, 1948, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea was proclaimed, with Kim Il-sung as Premier.
