	Early History of The Ryukyu Kingdom and its Relationship with China and Japan
		From the 14th century on, the Ryukyu Kingdom developed a tributary relationship with China, which while symbolically signifying the Ryukyu Kingdom's status under China (as demonstrated in a pledge of loyalty made by the Ryukyuan King to the Chinese Emperor) basically maintained the Ryukyu Kingdom's independent status as a nation.
		In no way did China seek to interfere in Ryukyuan domestic affairs, but merely sought to maintain cordial relations with the kingdom (which by the 16th century had consolidated all of the islands in the archipelago under centralized monarchical rule, with it's capitol at Shuri castle on the island of Okinawa).
		The Amami islands (part of present-day Kagoshima Prefecture) quickly became integral to the growth of Satsuma's economy and consequently to it's growth in military strength.
