1948 US Military Document Acknowledged Dokdo as Korean Territory: Research Foundation
A newly discovered 1948 U.S. military document indicates American authorities recognized the Dokdo islets as Korean territory. The U.S. Far East Air Forces report detailed a bombing incident on the islets, which killed Korean fishermen, and referred to Dokdo by its Western name, Liancourt Rocks, stating it was 'definitely established in September 1947 that the Liancourt Rocks was a part of Korea.'
