It was also a proxy war between the United States and the Soviet Union. The principal combatants were North and South Korea., the Northern Limit Line was established, which marked the maritime boundary between North and South Korea. The line runs between the mainland portion of Gyeonggi Province that had been part of Hwanghae before 1945, and the adjacent offshore islands (the largest of which is Baengnyeongdo ). As a result, the mainland portion reverted to North Korean control, while the islands remained a part of South Korea. (Since 1999, North Korea has claimed a more southerly Maritime Military Demarcation Line , which would make the islands a part of North Korea as well. Disputes between North and South Korean naval vessels often occur in this area.)
In 1954, North Korea's Hwanghae Province was divided into North and South Hwanghae.
