 note = {The Ryukyu Disposition in 1879 is an administrative act to abolish the Ryukyu-han and establish Okinawa Prefecture(domain). In 1872, the Ryukyu Kingdom was abolished and the Ryukyu-han was established. The Meiji Government had a hard time annexing the Ryukyu (unification of domestic affairs).
In the Edo period, Ryukyu Kingdom was coordinated by the Satsuma-han, and was under the control of the Shogunate system through Satsuma. However, Satsuma-han has not interfered with the internal affairs of Ryukyu Kingdom in principle. With the opening diplomatic relations, when Japan planned “Modernization” and “Civilization” under the Meiji Restoration government, it was necessary to internalize Ryukyu = Okinawa in the framework of a modern Emperor System.
The Meiji government believed that the annexation of Ryukyu Kingdom into Japan required the “agreement” of the Ryukyu king and China. Because both Ryukyu and Qing dynasty claimed that Ryukyu nation “belongs to both Qing dynasty and Japan” under the Chinese system. Japan negotiated with China in order to annex Ryukyu, based on universal public law (the order of modern international law) as Japanese national diplomatic policy. Japanese government wanted to abolish the “unequal treaty” since the Edo period, and to be accepted by Western countries as a civilized nation.
The annexation of Okinawa had two stages: the “establishment of the Ryukyu domain” in 1872 and the Ryukyu disposal in 1879. The subject of this paper is the process leading up to the Ryukyu disposal in 1879, and the part directly related to the Ryukyu disposal will be written in the next paper. In the process of negotiations with China about the dispatch of troops to Taiwan in 1873, Japanese government under the influence of the Chinese regime, undertook policy changes based on modern international law (Bankoku-kouho-shugi), and its key player was Toshimichi Okubo.},
