The term 'country divided' refers to two countries that were once one, but have since been split into two separate entities. The two countries that fit this description are KOREA and Czechoslovakia. KOREA was divided in 1945 following the end of World War II, with the Soviet Union occupying the northern part of the country and the United States occupying the southern part. This division eventually led to the creation of North and South KOREA. Czechoslovakia was divided in 1993, when the country peacefully dissolved into two separate countries, the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
