Solution

The war that led to the division of Korea into a communist dictatorship in the North and a multi-party democracy in the South was the Korean War.

Here are the steps:

  1. The Korean War began on June 25, 1950, when North Korea, backed by the Soviet Union and China, invaded South Korea, which was supported by the United States and other Western nations.

  2. The war was a result of the political division of Korea by an agreement of the victorious Allies at the end of World War II.

  3. The Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27, 1953, and it led to the creation of the Demilitarized Zone to separate North and South Korea.

  4. The armistice ended the fighting but did not officially end the war. The division of Korea into two political entities was formalized with the creation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (South Korea).

  5. North Korea became a communist dictatorship under the leadership of Kim Il-sung, while South Korea became a multi-party democracy, albeit one that was under authoritarian rule for several decades.
