Dokdo: The Liancourt Rocks are a group of small islets in the Sea of Japan. While South Korea controls the islets, its sovereignty over them is contested by Japan. South Korea classifies the islets as Dokdo-ri, Ulleung-eup, Ulleung County, North Gyeongsang Province, and calls them Dokdo. Japan classifies the islands as part of Okinoshima, Oki District, Shimane Prefecture, and calls them Takeshima ("bamboo islands"). The Franco-English name "Liancourt Rocks" derives from Le Liancourt, the name of a French whaling ship that came close to being wrecked on the rocks in 1849. |
