Top Ten Countries That Might Own Dokdo or Takeshima

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
We all must acknowledge the fact that Korea throughout its long history has been the actual owner of the island Dokdo. Even most of Japan's historic maps and artifacts prove that Dokdo has been the territory of Korea. The reason Japan nowadays asserts Dokdo belongs to Japan is the fact that they, during the World Wars, forcefully took Dokdo away from the Korean government by trading with China. Because Japan forcefully took away the diplomatic powers from then, the Korean government had no power. However, this is where the problem starts. The Korean emperor, who actually held all the powers did not sign the treaty that yielded the diplomacy power to Japan meaning that Japan used its military force to do whatever they wanted with out the Korean's approval. This means that the trade Japan made with China regarding Dokdo is also invalid because the diplomatic powers still lied in the Korean Government.
I really hope that the Japanese government realize the truth and follow their ...more
Dokdo is a Korean territory. We have tons of proof. For example, even a Japanese map from 1905 doesn't mark Dokdo as Japanese territory. It was only later, after Japan illegally invaded Korea with force, that they became interested in taking away the Korean islet. The only reason Japan wants to bring the Dokdo case to the ICJ is because they have a Japanese judge in the ICJ who can rule in favor of Japan, regardless of their lack of evidence. Furthermore, the Japanese government have been brainwashing its people by teaching distorted history in schools so it's not even surprising that a lot of Japanese mistakenly believe that Dokdo is rightfully theirs (which is sad because they aren't even aware that they've been taught false history).
Japanese politicians you stop lobbying and passing bribes. Do you think we don't know that you guys have already sopped the people from the states? Don't try to distort an absolute fact by coaxing the majority. 1+1 is not 3 even though 60 billion people believe so. At the first place we never have to go to ICJ since Dokdo is definitely a Korean territory but you are just trying to bring us to ICJ which will stand for your side. If you really want to do this, then let's also ask ICJ if Japan is Korean territory ot not. If you think you really need to bring this case to ICJ, provide us enough evidence that shows Dokdo is Japanese territory and rebut any of our evidence. We have plenty and you are saying nothing about them. You are making us to think that you agree to those evidence.

I mean, Korean have to make people sing song of Takeshima to brainwash their people. Korean media used fake picture to make people think Japanese took the land. They shot Japanese wishing boat to steal the island. There are only few Japanese on this site.
Judging from the VERIFIED evidences, the island or the rock on the Japan Sea should be considered to be a property of Japan. I have investigated grounds of their respective claims and I have no choice but to conclude that the grounds for Japan are based on verified facts and international treaties, while those for Korea are merely their one-sided advocacy. I wonder if many of Korean citizens know the fact, but I am very sure that Korean government knows well that they have no chance to get successful lawsuit if they go the International Court of Justice unless they are real fools. Before the case be transferred to the ICJ, Korean citizens should learn and study the verified evidences so that they can notice they have been deceived by their own government.
Japan can show all of the world international evidences why Takeshima is a Japanese territory while Korea cannot, simply because Japan is the owner of Takeshima.
The reason why Takeshima belongs to Japan is
1. "Takeshima was never treated as a part of Korea, and since about1905, has been under the jurisdiction of the Oki Islands Branch Office of Shimane Prefecture of Japan. " said by former USA assistant secretary of State Dean Rusk
2. "The United States states that the United States concluded that Takeshima was a territory of Japan. " said by Ambassador Van Fleet
That is it. All Japan and Korea do is just to take the dispute to the International Court of Justice.
Let us prove it there.
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.

All of korean should be occupay by great cruel leader who has black-phone head.


Has been decided what the British Empire was a former winner of the Seven Seas
That island became British territory in Age of Discovery.

We need more lands
The world belongs to china? what the heck?

Japan? Korea? No! The Spanish empire share the half of the world.
I think Takeshima is a territory in Spain or Japan.
They're just rocks. Let the Spaniards have them.
