Why is Dokdo Korean territory?

1. Introduction
We are in the third year of middle school in Korea. Japan and Korea are close countries but have very bad memories. Japan ruled our country for 36 years, killing and hurting many people. But Japan does not reflect on such past history. Even about Dokdo, the territory taken from colonial rule, They still claims to be their own land. So we looked for the grounds that Japan claims Dokdo is Japanese territory. And I found out why the grounds that Japan claims as their land are wrong. Japan has tricked people around the world about Dokdo as Japanese territory. I think our article will help you understand what Japan is lying about.

2. Japan's claim
1) Ownerless land acquisition theory
Japan claims that in 1905, Dokdo, an island where nobody lives and nobody owns, was incorporated into Japanese territory. Having a territory that no one owns is a way of legally expanding the territory under international law. This ownerless land acquisition theory is the most important reason Japan claims Dokdo as Japanese territory.
2) Treaty of San Francisco
Japan insists that Dokdo is Japanese territory because they never gave up Dokdo after its incorporation into Japan. The Treaty of San Francisco is a treaty between the Allied Powers of 48 and Japan after World War II. This treaty contains Japan's territory and the territory that Japan occupied and had to give up. However, According to this treaty, Dokdo was not a territory that Japan has to give up. So Japan insists that Dokdo was incorporated into Japanese territory in 1905 and is still a Japanese territory under international law.

3. The Rebuttal of Japanese Claims
1) The rebuttal of ownerless land acquisition theory
It is a lie that in 1905 Dokdo was incorporated into Japanese territory because no one owned it. Because at that time the Korean Empire was controlling Dokdo. At that time, the Korean Empire promoted Ulleungdo to Ulleung-gun in 1900 and included Dokdo in Ulleung-gun's jurisdiction. This is confirmed by Article 41 of the Korean Imperial Decree.
2) The rebuttal of Treaty of San Francisco
The San Francisco Enforcement Treaty is a treaty between the 48 Allies and Japan. Dokdo was initially included in the territory that Japan had to give up, but finally it was excluded from the territory that Japan had to give up. At that time, Japan would lobby a lot in the United States to subtract Dokdo from Japan's territory to give up. Behind Japan's lobbyists, the US claims Dokdo is Japanese territory, but other allies oppose it. So Dokdo was excluded from the territory that Japan would give up, but also from Japan. Therefore, the San Francisco Enforcement Treaty cannot be the reason that Dokdo is Japanese territory. Of course, the San Francisco Treaty cannot be the reason that Dokdo is the land of Korea. Similarly, I think this treaty cannot be the reason that Dokdo is Japanese territory.

4. Conclusion
Korea has ruled Dokdo since ancient times. Many ancient documents say Dokdo is the land of Korea. Then, in 1905, Japan invaded Dokdo as Japan invaded the whole of Chosun and made it into Japanese land. Japan, defeated in World War II, must return all invaded territories to its original owners according to the Treaty of Cairo and the Potsdam Convention. So Korea received Dokdo back from Japan. However, Japan still claims that Korea has seized Dokdo illegally. So I insist on returning Dokdo. As we have seen, Japan has taken all Korean land, including Dokdo. And after losing in World War II, it is only natural to return the land that was stolen to the owner. So Dokdo is Korean land.
