11 marzo 1879 anni - Anexação e criação da prefeitura de Okinawa
Descrizione:
In 1872, the Japanese tributary kingdom was reconfigured as the Ryukyu Domain. At the same time, the fiction of independence was maintained for diplomatic reasons until the Meiji Japanese government abolished the Ryukyu Kingdom when the islands were incorporated as Okinawa Prefecture on March 11, 1879. The Amami-Ōshima island group which had been integrated into the Satsuma domain became a part of Kagoshima prefecture. Nowadays, the Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport still uses the Chinese characters Ryukyu (Okinawa) as its destination, although the English is Okinawa (OKA). The last king of the Ryukyus was forced to relocate to Tokyo, and was given a compensating kazoku rank as Marquis Shō Tai. His death in 1901 diminished the historic connections with the former kingdom. The Sho family now lives normally in Japan. Many royalists fled to China.
