The Ryūkyū Kingdom (Ryukyuan: 琉球國 rūchū-kuku, Japanese: 琉球王国 ryūkyū-ō-koku, traditional Chinese: 琉球國 liúqiúguó) was an independent kingdom which ruled most of the Ryukyu Islands from the 15th century to the 19th century. The Kings of Ryūkyū unified Okinawa Island and extended the kingdom to the Amami Islands in modern-day Kagoshima Prefecture, and the Sakishima Islands near Taiwan. Despite its small size, the kingdom played a central role in the maritime trade networks of medieval East and Southeast Asia.
