Contents The rise of militarism in Japan -- Japan's conspiracy to conquer Joseon -- The Russo-Japanese War and Japanese encroachment on the Korean peninsula -- The incapacitation of Joseon (Empire of Great Han)'s armed forces and the imposition of the Japanese military system on Joseon -- The Japanese Navy's seizing of Dokdo -- Japan usurps Korea's diplomatic sovereignty and incorporates Dokdo into Japanese territory -- Management of Dokdo after the Russo-Japanese War -- Japan's annexation of Korea and Dokdo
Summary "Japan continues to provoke conflict by laying claim to Dokdo, ignoring the fact that historically and legally the island is an integral part of the Korean territory. History clearly shows that the Japanese imperialists illegally seized Dokdo for strategic and military purposes during the Japanese-Russo War (1904-1905). But Japanese politicians today tend to ignore the historical reality and teach the young generation faulty, misleading knowledge..." - from the preface
