	Japanese Militarism & Diaoyutai (Senkaku) Island - A Japanese Historian's View
		Furthmore, at the end of the explanatory notes on the Ishigaki and eight neighbouring islands of the Yaeyama Archipelago, it was written that the eight islands were "the southwestern most boundary of Ryukyu" (the Iriomote Island of the Yaeyama group among the Ryukyu Islands being the nearest to the Taioyu (Daioyu) Island).
		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.
		Probably, the Tiaoyu (Diaoyutai) and other islands were incorporated into Ishigaki Village of Yaeyama District on April 1 in accordance with an order issued by the interior minister to change the boundary of the Yaeyama District, an order based on Article 2 of the March 5 imperial decree.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 65
		In Okinawa, the only place in Japan where Japanese and United States ground forces fought each other, such dialogues are further complicated by the uninterrupted American military presence since the end of World War II and by the many territorial, legal, and moral issues that come with the U.S. bases.
		The original Okinawa Prefectural Peace Memorial Museum was established in 1975 at Mabuni, to "mourn for the victims of the war, to convey correctly the historical teachings of the Battle of Okinawa to the next generation, and to contribute to the establishment of everlasting peace," in the words of the official guidebook (1991 ed.).
		In Okinawa itself, the new governor's pre-election promises of "no offshore heliport" and a "fifteen-year lease limit" for any new joint-use civilian/military airport, without which he could not have been elected, seemed to ensure that his positions would not fit easily into the agendas of the Japanese and American governments.

		The islands were on the sea route between Okinawa and Fujian.
		Japanese scholars claim that neither China nor Okinawa had recognized sovereignty over the uninhabited islands, and therefore the Chinese documents only prove that Kumejima, the first inhabited island reached by the Chinese, belonged to Okinawa.
		Japanese scholars point out that it would not have been difficult for the Republic of China (ROC) to occupy these islands in 1945, because she had already incorporated Taiwan and the surrounding islands two months before the US military occupation was extended to the Yaeyama Islands.

		Clearly, this means that during that time China either did not think that it had sovereignty over the islands, did not care, or otherwise abandoned sovereign responsibility over the islands.
		When Japan returned Taiwan and Pengu to China, while keeping Senkaku/Diaoyu as part of Okinawa, to carry out the 1952 Tapei peace treaty with China, China did not dispute that Senkaku/Diaoyu was not part of Okinawa but part of what had to be returned to China.
		That effectively meant that China did not dispute the incorporation of Senkaku/Diaoyu into Okinawa and Japan is the last UNDISPUTED sovereign of Senkaku/Diaoyu.
