With respect to Takeshima ,the ROK has asserted that (i) Dokdo (the Korean name for Takeshima) was the first Korean territory to fall victim to the Japanese aggression against Korea, (ii) Because it was not a signatory to the Peace Treaty, the ROK was unable to receive any benefits or assurances with regard to the issue of territorial rights over “Dokdo;”, (iii) Up until the mid-1950s the United States strongly supported Japan’s position on Takeshima as a result of Japan’s vigorous diplomacy toward the United States. This research paper aims to critically examine the legitimacy of the ROK’s assertions. The author examined ROK and US government documents including those the author has found and concluded that the ROK government has invented historical basis for its claims by concealing a part of the documents that are inconvenient for them.
