Dokdo is an island in the east coast of South Korea next to the larger Ulleungdo. The islands are also often miscalled as Takeshita by the Japanese, who believes this island belongs to them. However, historically, Dokdo has been part of Korean territory since 512 A.D. Nowadays, Japanese argue that Dokdo is their territory with lame arguments. As far as history stretches, it is a fact that Dokdo Island belongs to Korea.
