The strangest Island Dispute you’ve probably never heard about

The Dokdo (sometimes Tokdo) or Takeshima rocks (also known as the Liancourt rocks) have been one of the major obstacles in the development of Korean-Japanese relations for decades. In 2021, the conflict made headlines when Japan released a map for its 2020 olympic games, supposedly showing the rocks as Japanese territory, which sparked outrage across South Korea. Although this small territorial dispute has been a frequent topic of public discussion in both Japan and South Korea, it is relatively unknown outside the region. The current dispute originated in 1905, however its roots stretch back much further than that. Since 1954, the rocks have been de facto controlled by South Korea, however Japan continues to claim that this is an illegal occupation. In this video we take a closer look at the conflict: Where does it come from? How did it develop? And what drives South Korea and Japan in this dispute? ____________________ Consider supporting this channel on Patreon: Link to my Patreon:   / politicswithpaint   ____________________ Art Contribution: A big thank you to Teabag for helping me in this video: Check out his Twitter below!
