History of The Ryukyu Islands - Three-Kingdom Period

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.
