Travel Info Is the 38th parallel also called DMZ? Travel Tips When Korea was divided in 1945 for the Japanese surrender, it was noticed that the 38th line of latitude approximately divided Korea in half. That was the basis of Russians accepting surrender north of the line and the US south of the line. At that time, there was no DMZ. At the armistice ending the fighting in the Korean War, one of the agreements was to establish a zone without weapons - the Demilitarized Zone or DMZ, which exists to this day. Others No. The 38th Parallel North cuts across the DMZ between North and South Korea. It is not called the DMZ, but it cuts across it. For more information on the 38th Parallel North, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38th_parall... The 38th parallel is an imaginary line that divides the Korean peninsula roughly in the middle and has been the boundary between North and South Korea since1948. 38th parallel is also known as a Christian rock band consisted of Mark Jennings (vocals), Nate Rippke (vocals), Shane Moe (guitars), Jeff Barton (bass), Aaron Nordyke (drums) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/38th_parall... http://www.christianitytoday.com/music/a... In general cases, yes. Spefically and politacally, no. Korea is divided on the 38th parallel and the thing that seperates it is the DMZ |
