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:
“There is not any present moment that is unconnected with some future one. The life of every man is a continued chain of incidents, each link of which hangs upon the former. The transition from cause to effect, from event to event, is often carried on by secret steps, which our foresight cannot divine, and our sagacity is unable to trace. Evil may at some future period bring forth good; and good may bring forth evil, both equally unexpected.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
