Blocking Japanese Invasion of Dokdo Island
After the Dokdo Volunteer Forces arrived at Dokdo Island on April 20, 1953, Japan made numerous illegal attempts to invade the island. In particular, there were six
attempts in 1954. Despite the inferior weapons and conditions, the Forces resisted six Japanese attacks, thus solidifying the public awareness that Dokdo Island is
Korean territory and strengthening our commitment to protect Dokdo Island.
