Tomb of Righteous Army on Sonanjido Island, Dangjin

The Tomb of the Righteous Army on Sonanjido Island, Dangjin, marks a place where the harrowing history of the anti-Japanese righteous army war can be traced: after the Eulsa Treaty of 1905, which deprived Korea of its diplomatic sovereignty, righteous army units from along the coast of South Chungcheong Province united and fought on Sonanjido Island. It is the only place in the country where anti-Japanese resistance was based on an offshore island. The site vividly shows how thoroughly Japan suppressed anti-Japanese forces, extending its crackdown even to the island regions, in its drive to seize control of Korea, and it stands as an important historic site for honouring the true value of the independence movement and its patriotic spirit.
