Two old Chinese maps have been discovered showing that the Dokdo islets belonged to Korea, further undermining Japan's flimsy colonial claim to the rocks.
The two maps were made in the 19th century during the Qing Dynasty and were unveiled by Lee Myeong-hee of Kyunghee University's Humanitas College at a seminar on Sept. 6.
One is an eight-piece folding-screen map of the world from 1845 and depicts Ulleung Island and Dokdo in close proximity to the Korean Peninsula, clearly showing that they belonged to the Chosun Kingdom.
The other map, created in 1851, depicts Ulleung Island and Dokdo in the same way.

You step in it, you own it...
Sort of like Obama’s immigration policy. You step in America, you own it. Here’s a check.
Kind of like Ireland and England disputing ownership of Rockall, an uninhabited islet north of Ireland, which was of no consequence until oil and gas were discovered.
But Ireland’s claim is based on the folklore that Rockall was formed when Finn McCoul threw a pebble into the sea!
If those In'juns had a bigger defense budget, they'd still be in charge!
The Mohawks originally invaded Canada in 1535? but after the white man came, smallpox and measles killed them off so they were only able to raise armies with a few hundred warriors at most.

Maybe if I was T. "Schwimmer" Kennedy. In the real world, No Money = No Honey. There are laws on the books now that say that any citizen can lay claim to any free lands and as long as they provide proof that they are improving it then it belongs to them. I was doing some research last year and remember coming across that one. Note, however, that if a government employee does not agree with some old law then they feel no obligation to abide by it. Costs quite a bit to retain a lawyer and sue to get any sort of "justice".
I think sometime before WW2 we decided that it would be despicably crude to make such a claim in this Enlightened age, thus Germany and Japan remained sovereign nations -which we then proceeded to rebuild for them.
Thanks TexGrill.
