Currently known for its polemics regarding military bases, the Japanese province of Okinawa remained under the domain of the United States for 27 years after the end of the Second World War. The territory, however, was already familiar with invasions: formerly called Uchinaa, it was colonized and annexed by Japan in 1879. Through a critical review of the history of the province, this work aims to elucidate that the American domination of the Okinawa islands was made possible because of the Japanese colonization, and went far beyond only military occupation; it has economic, sociocultural and psychological dimensions. Despite the reversal of the trusteeship having taken place in 1972, the domination did not actually ended: its implications are reverberated to the present day.
