Description
The island of Tsushima (Japan) between Korea and Japan is colored in yellow, as part of Korea. Tsushima is the closest Japanese territory to the Korean Peninsula, lying approximately 50 km from Busan.
Below Korea and east from China, an unusual denomination for the East China Sea is noted "Mer de Lieu-Kieu, de Corée ou Orientale" (Sea of Ryukyu, of Korea or East Sea).
"In the middle of the 19th century, at the dawn of its colonial expansion, two reasons led France to take an interest in the island of Okinawa. On one hand, it appears both as a possible point of support for its navy in the Far East and as a possible access route to the Japanese market. On the other hand, territory of the kingdom of Ryukyu, and in view of the upcoming opening of Japan, it is the only place more or less related to the Japanese cultural sphere where the presence of Catholic priests has some chance of 'be accepted".
France remained almost absent from the Far East until the 1830s. It was in fact from 1841, under the leadership of François Guizot, Minister of Foreign Affairs and strong man of the government, that a policy was implemented to restore a consular and naval presence in the China Sea.
