Summary
1. “Map of the Three Countries” (1785) - Ulleungdo, Dokdo, and Joseon are all in the same color, and the French-language version of this map was used as evidence during the French-American territorial disputes.
2. “Complete Geographical Map of the Japanese Coasts” (1821) – This map shows Sado Island and Tsushima Island, which are near Dokdo, but does not show Dokdo.
3. “Map of Joseon and the Coast of the East Sea” (1876) - Based on a Russian map, this map was composed by the Japanese Department of the Navy for military use.
4. “Complete Map of Korea” from True History of the Russo-Japanese War (1905) - This map also labeled Dokdo as Korean territory.
Teacher Notes
Korea has long had the right to exercise control over Ulleungdo and Dokdo. Korea’s claims are strengthened by presenting Japanese and world maps that include these islands as Korean territory.
