The term 'Divided Asian Peninsula' refers to the Korean Peninsula, which is divided into two countries: North KOREA and South KOREA. The five-letter solution for this term is 'KOREA'. The Korean Peninsula has been divided since the end of World War II in 1945, when the Soviet Union and the United States divided the peninsula along the 38th parallel. Since then, the two countries have been in a state of political and military tension, with no resolution in sight.
