The tiny islets, known as Takeshima in Japan and Dokdo in South Korea, which controls them, have long been a source of tension between the two neighbours, whose relations remain strained by disputes rooted in Japan’s colonial rule of the Korean peninsula from 1910 to 1945.


Sure, a country celebrating an ownership festival over some island controlled by a different country. I wonder why the other country might be upset?
It’s a little worse than that.
Imaging Germany doing a festival conmemorating retaking the polish corridor… and not as a traditional festival but as something they started doing like in 2005.
