Territorial Dispute

Northern Territories Sign (Hakodate) - Japan  2024

"Even after Japan accepted the Potsdam Declaration and made it clear its intent to surrender, Soviet forces continued its offensive against Japan and occupied all of the Four Northern Islands from 28 August 1945 to 5 September 1945.The Northern Territories have been under illegal occupation by the Soviet Union, and then Russia."

I saw this sign as I was walking back from my ocean view walk.
