Dokdo is the eastern most island in the East Sea.

Dokdo is a small island which has been a part Korean territory ever since the Silla period 57 B.C.-935 A.D. However, the Japanese have persisted in claiming Korean territory. 

Even though it is only a small island the meaning that island pocess is very huge.

Dokdo is located between Korea east sea and Japan sea.  It possess much ocean resources and  it is important to geographically and militarily.

Japanese government first claimed that Dokdo was their territory on January 28th 1952.

In 1998, Korea started negotiations with Japan on a fisheries agreement

At that time, Korea econimic was in a state of coma because of IMF. Korea government made a conceded to demand agreement for economic help from Japan.

So, the fisheries agreement concluded between Korea and Japan in 1999,  Dokdo is located within a provisional zone designated in the East Sea that calls for joint efforts for the maintenance and regulation of related fishery resources.

Last month the Japanese government suddenly clears to published middle schoolbook which include story of Dokdo island dominium.

It is a provocative remark to Korea.

Japanese geographical recognition of the Ulleungdo and Dokdo islands originated about the 16th or 17th century.

But It just made-up story.  Dokdo is our territory since the Silla period. korea and Joseon Dynasty period too.

If Japan keeps doing there crazy things like now, in the end, It’s makes worse relation ship of  two countries
