Okinawa immigrants (1)

On the eastern periphery of the East China Sea, there is the Ryukyu Islands with a length of 1000 km from north to south. There was the Ryukyu Kingdom in history, and the Ming Dynasty belonged to China and had its own language. Later, because of Japanese aggression, it was gradually annexed by Japan at that time and became Okinawa, Japan now.

When it comes to Ryukyu, we have to mention Samoa. Satsuma is located in the southwest of Kyushu Island and is now a part of Kagoshima Prefecture and Miyazaki Prefecture in Japan. Samoans contributed the most to Japan's annexation of Ryukyu Island at that time. 1609, when Japanese Samoans invaded Ryukyu and launched a war. At that time, Ryukyu was defeated by Samoa, and Shangning and Wangling were occupied by it. In 16 1 1 year, the King of Shangning signed "Article 15". Ryukyu has been ruled by Samoans since then.

Although Ryukyu still had envoys to China for exchanges in the Ming Dynasty, it was already under the control of Samoans and only paid tribute to Samoans. In the Qing Dynasty, the king of Ryukyu Kingdom even asked for knighthood in the Qing Dynasty, when he declared himself a vassal state of China. During the Meiji Restoration, Japan embarked on the militaristic road of foreign aggression and expansion. It was only under local control during Samoan rule. In the Meiji Restoration, it was completely invaded in the name of the country.

1872, Ryukyu emissary visited, and Japan forcibly conferred the title of Ryukyu king? Captain? And hide it from China. At the same time, 1879, the Japanese emperor's government promoted? Abandon the princes and set up a county? , forcibly divided Ryukyu into two, and divided the Ryukyu territory in the north into Japanese territory, that is, from this time on, Japan's Okinawa island was born. Later, Japan introduced standard Japanese here, which made the local people gradually speak Japanese, which also meant that Ryukyu gradually became Okinawa, Japan.
