The Liancourt Rocks are a group of small islands in the East Sea.[1][2] In Korea they are called Dokdo. In Japan they are called Takeshima.
The islands are currently occupied under the South Korean armed police. The name Liancourt Rocks comes from the French whaling ship Liancourt. The people on the Liancourt made a map of the islands in 1849. Korea and Japan both say that the islands are theirs, and have for a long time. Japan has suggested asking the International Court of Justice to decide, but the South Korean government refused. [3]
