	JPRI Working Paper No. 45
		Okinawa was undoubtedly neglected, both during the prewar and wartime decades, as the most backward Japanese prefecture (ultimately devastated by war), but also during the 1945-72 U.S. period.
		In this, as in other respects, Okinawa is becoming 'mainland-ized.' Unlike the rest of Japan, however, the coral-protected islands of Okinawa are directly threatened by global warming and the anticipated rise in the level of the oceans, since the former may well kill the coral, and the latter inundate it.
		Yet Okinawa is unlikely ever to pass through the stage of requiring its youth to be trained as salarymen for a mainland-style industrial wage-labor force, and mainland Japan itself is gradually awakening to the folly and wastage of its education system.

	Japanese Militarism & Diaoyutai (Senkaku) Island - A Japanese Historian's View
		The year when Ryukyu was turned into Okinawa Prefecture was also the year when the conflict between the Ching government of China and Japan concerning the title to these territories reached a climax.
		But according to reports published in the Okinawa Mainichi Shimbun (January 1 to 9, 1910), which lauded the merits of Koga, the prefectural government did not grant his application because "it was not clear at the time whether the island belonged to the (Japanese) empire".
		Whether Koga's application to the Okinawa prefectural and central governments for a lease of the Tiaoyu Island (Diaoyutai) was made before or after the outbreak of the 1894 Japan-Ching war remains inknown, but both the prefectural and central governments had declared that title to that island was uncertain.
