Top Ten Countries That Might Own Dokdo or Takeshima
linuxloveminThe Top Ten
South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea, is a sovereign state in East Asia, constituting the southern part of the Korean Peninsula. Silla, ancient Korean country, found Dokdo about 85000 years ago. However, Japanese said that they found Takeshima about 2years ago. Korea found it almost 720000 years before!
Dokdo was originally Korean Territory before Japanese annexed Dokdo island in order to catch sea lions which was a trend that was going on that time. Japan denies the fact that they invaded Korea and actually helped Korea industrialize. They deny the fact that they took Korean, Chinese and other women and used them as a war time sex slave. They neither apologized nor compensated enough (they compensated $1 and that was it). They also took Korean men and forced them labor.
Japanese did horrible things to the Koreans, Chinese, and other countries.
For example, in the Japanese's Army unit 731, Japanese committed biological and chemical experiments on the people of the land that they conquered. They called Maruta which means wooden block in Japanese. Japanese never thought Koreans, Chinese as humans but wooden blocks.

For 2,000 years, Dokdo has been Korean territory. In the book, "The history of three countries of Korea" published at 1,145 A. D by the government of the ancient Korea, the Korean government declare that two islands in the East sea had been founded and captured by the Korean general whose name is Sabu Lee in 512 A.D.. The Korean government also has already declared two islands belongs to Korea. A number of the books about Korean history, the territorial maps and the public articles by both the Korean and the Japanese government from the ancient to the nowadays agreed that fact.
But in 1905 when Japan invaded in Korea and captured the diplomatic right of Korea, the Japanese government declares that Dokdo belongs to Japan and insists that her name is not Dokdo but Takeshima without any agreement. It is because that Japan wants to earn the strategic point in East Sea against Russia in the time of Russia-Japan war. In WW2, the international forces such as USA, Soviet ...more
I'm from the UK and I would say Dokdo is truly Korean territory. You will understand if you watch videos in YouTube. Korea government is desperately promoting Dokdo. Also, Japanese government, they are faking or trying to cover History between Korea and Japan. The reason why many Korean still argue about history is because the attitudes that Japan has shown to Korea and Japan is not like that of Germany. Japanese government only has announced ambiguous states of their history and it seems they are doing apology. They are somehow still worshiping world war criminals which is completely against of behavior of Germany. Finally, rather than cooperate with Asian countries, it seems that Japan consider themselves as not Asian country but more like Europe or sth. I admit Japanese are so nice and kind people but at the same time, it is Japanese who should re-think of their current situation and direction. Is the past the past? No, it is absolutely not. It is obviously unforgettable facts if ...more
Japan is an island country in East Asia in the Pacific Ocean. It lies off the eastern coast of the Asia Mainland (east of China, Korea, Russia) and stretching from the Sea of Okhotsk in the north to the East China Sea and near Taiwan in the southwest. ...read more. In my opinion, it is totally 'nonsense' that both citizens try to show their proof here like 'We firstly found this island xx years ago... Or They illegally invaded the island after... Etc... ' as both side completely believe the island belongs to their side. I think only a third party which has an unprejudiced eye (International Court of Justice) can make a fair judgement for this kind of issue. Japan is now preparing for bringing this issue to ICJ, but sadly Korea consistently refuse to have ICJ make a decision. Why? I think this Japan's bringing the issue to ICJ is the MOST peaceful and understandable way to solve this conflict. I hope Korea comes to ICJ, please.
I totally understand the S. Korean claim but unfortunately the great people of S Korea are being politically brainwashed and lied to by their untrustworthy government who want to somehow build up a false great past and national pride by fabricating history( to gain political supporters). Infact the majority of the population lived as uneducated poverty stricken nomads just a mere 100 years ago(which is no bad thing) and thus were easily annexed by the Japanese during a time of imperialism. The simple fact is that by International Law Japan has every and all rights legally. The S Korean government knows this and this is why they don't take the matter to the international courts.
Please don't let hatred and jealously pollute the truth.
There's no place named Dokdo in this world. Get over it.
This ranking has no meanings. Most of the voters should be Koreans.
