Three-Kingdom Period
The Three-Kingdom period, also known as the Sanzan period (三山時代, Sanzan-jidai?), lasted from 1322 until 1429. There was a gradual consolidation of power. This culminated in the unification of the Ryūkyū Kingdom.Every country became a tributary to the Ming dynasty.
Shō Hashi (1372–1439) conquered the middle state in 1404 and made his father, Sho Shi Sho, the king; conquered the northern state of Han An Chi in 1416; and conquered the southern state in 1429, thereby unifying Ryukyu.

Famous quotes containing the word period:
“This [new] period of parenting is an intense one. Never will we know such responsibility, such productive and hard work, such potential for isolation in the caretaking role and such intimacy and close involvement in the growth and development of another human being.”
—Joan Sheingold Ditzion and Dennie Palmer (20th century)
