Korea Commemorates The March First Independence Movement

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA - MARCH 1: South Korean children wearing traditional costume wave national flags during the celebration of The March First Independence Movement Anniversary on March 1, 2005 in Seoul, South Korea. South Koreans celebrate the public holiday a day of remembrance to mark the 1919 civilian uprising against Japanese colonial rule from 1910-1945. A legacy of resentment and territorial disputes between the nations were renewed when the Japanese ambassador claimed last week, that Japan was the rightful owner of several largely uninhabited islands claimed by both Tokyo and Seoul.
