		For those who want to know, Tokto (or the Liancourt Rocks as they are quaintly known in English) refers to a collection of rocky outcrops in the sea east of the Korean peninsula (thus between said peninsula and the Japanese archipelago) claimed by both Korea and Japan but occupied by Korean troops.
		So, we have some rocks in the middle of the sea with very little strategic significance (no harbour, no landing strip, little in the way of fresh water I assume) but for some reason they are important enough for the Japanese ambassador in Korea to say baldly:
		More precisely, the collection of rocks in the middle of the sea is important to the Korean ruling class as a nationalist symbol that can always be revived to turn people’s attention toward old anti-Japanese feelings.

		Dokdo was first registered on charts in Europe after a French expedition under the leadership of Jean F.G. Perouse travelled to the East Sea/Sea of Japan in May of 1787, naming Ullung Island as "Dagelet", for a French astrologer, and Dokdo as "Boussole", after the name of one of the ships on the expedition.
		It was not until 1849, when French whale-hunters gave the name of their ship to the islets, that Dokdo began to be called "Liancourt Rocks".

		This "empty island" policy for Ulleungdo was then repealed in 1883 when King Gojong implemented a resettlement policy and allowed residents to return to the island.
		In 1849, the French whaler Liancourt, after observing and surveying Dokdo, named the island group after their ship, calling them the Liancourt Rocks.
		After this, many Western maps and geography texts identified Dokdo as the Liancourt Rock Islands.

		Although all the claimants marshal support for their cases from historical sources, it cannot be denied that much of the uncertainty surrounding the territorial demarcation is a by-product of immediate post-World War II boundary decisions and territorial dispositions.
		Additionally, specific mention of the Senkaku Islands and the Liancourt Rocks did not appear in the territorial clauses of the San Francisco Peace Treaty.
		The territorial clause on the Liancourt Rocks could indicate that the San Francisco Peace Treaty assigns the Liancourt Rocks to Japan.

	How It Was - Tokdo Dispute History (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In 1849, French whale hunters began to call Tokto ``Liancourt Rocks,'' after a French whaler ship, and this later became a common name for the islets on European maps produced before the 20th century.
		The direct reference was dropped in the treaty eventually signed for the reason that the rocks were too insignificant to be mentioned in the prestigious document, and there was no indication of change of policy by the US and its allies.
		As a compromise, the allies gave Ullung (Utsuro) Island to Korea and Tsushima to Japan with the "Liancourt Rocks" (Tokdo/Takeshima) disputed.

		Both nations claim the barren rocks as sovereign territory and each has historical and legal arguments to back up their claims.

		Making it a fishing issue is one thing, but trying to attach emotional attachment and value to a couple of oversized rocks seems pretty dumb.
		Korea has control over those rock formations, and if domestic Japanese politics requires that country's politicians lie to their people about Takeshima, then so be it.
		In Korea everybody is quite vehement about the issue...It seems to be quite similar to those rocks close to the shore of Morocco that both Spain and Morocco claim.

		This normally uninhabited rock formation was according to our information never treated as part of Korea and, since about 1905, has been under the jurisdiction of the Oki Islands Branch Office of Shiname Prefecture of Japan.
		I am also aware of the existence of modern maps cartographed by the British, the French, US Americans, Russians, Germans, the Dutch, the Portuguese, and even the Japanese themselves identifying Tokdo, Dokdo, Boussole, Liancourt Rocks, Hornet Rocks, Manalai and Olivutsn Rocks, Takeshima as Corean, Coreene, Chosen, Tiosionj, or Korean before and after 1905.
		Hence from the very beginning of Japan's description of the two islands, any concept of Japanese soverignty over the two islands of Ullungdo 鬱陵島 (Dagelet Is.) and Tokdo 獨島 (Liancourt Rocks) is entirely absent.
