No "Dokdo" in the world !
"Dokdo" was spotlighted by Korean government's claim during the negotiation of territory of Japan.
Korea was not able to locate "Dokdo" at the time of 1951(July 19 and most likely after August 2 or 3, 1951) because they did not know whereabouts of the island. They could have easily located the island if they thought that Takeshima (Liancourt Rocks) was their "Dokdo", however, they claimed nothing about that.

My guess is that right before August 9,1951, they were barely able to locate the island and answer it to the Department of State that their "Dokdo" was to be Takeshima (Liancourt Rocks).

This indicates that Korea did not regard Takeshima (Liancourt Rocks) as her territory until this point in time. In other words, there had been no "Dokdo" in the world from the beginning. Like "Parangdo" which turned out to be a delusional island.

Anyway, they, both US and Korea, cannot locate "Dokdo" in the Sea of Japan until the beginning of August 1951.

In the other hand, to except Takeshima from the list was highlighted in diplomatic consequence among Allied.

Above was clearly known with the transitions of drafts for the San Francisco Peace Treaty

Final text of the treaty on September 8, 1951

Chapter I. Peace
Article 1
(b) The Allied Powers recognize the full sovereignty of the Japanese people over Japan and its territorial waters.

Chapter II. Territory
Article 2
(a) Japan recognizing the independence of Korea, renounces all right, title and claim to Korea, including the islands of Quelpart, Port Hamilton and Dagelet.

Korea has to admit these historical facts, or Japan and Allied can NOT admit the independence of Korea in the first place.

  • 言論の自由、思想の自由、学問の自由がない韓国で検証可能な歴史­が語られることがないのが悲しい。

    人々が正々堂々と真実を語れる環境を韓国のマスコミと世論が許さ­ない。

    中世ヨーロッパの宗教弾圧よりひどい韓国の社会的閉鎖性は世界に­知らせる必要があり、世界は無関心を装ってはならない。

    それでも地球は動いているし、竹島は日本領だ。

    Human Rights Watch は既に韓国の幼児に対する洗脳教育に興味を持っている。

    いつまでも南北共通の洗脳政治が続くはずがない。自ら目覚めなけ­れば、墓穴を掘るのは韓国政府である。

  • Japan is knows that Dokdo is Korea's territory.

  • @rhrnfu12
