My hometown history

My hometown is Okinawa prefecture, Japan. Okinawa is an island that lies in the southwest of Japan. Originally, the island was one country. It was called "Ryukyu Kingdom".Castles in Okinawa are registered as a world heritage site.
Ryukyu Kingdom is dependent on trade with China, southeast Asia and Japan.
In 1879, Ryukyu Kingdom was occupied by Japan. Then the island became called Okinawa prefecture.Therefore many things, such as language and formality were Japanized.
From 1945 to 1972, Okinawa was occupied by America because of its loss in the World WarⅡ.This time, many things such as money and food were Americanized.
In 1972, the island was ruled by Japan again.
But Okinawa is still inhabited by a large American many Americans.
So Okinawa consists of a lot of culture. If you visit Okinawa, you can feel that.
