Движение за независимость Окинавы или Движение за независимость Рюкю (кит. трад. 琉球獨立運動, упр. 琉球独立运动, пиньинь liúqiú dúlì yùndòng, палл. люцю дули юньдун, 琉球独立運動, рю:кю: докурицу ундо:) — движение, ставящее своей целью превратить Окинаву и прилегающие к ней острова (острова Рюкю) в независимое от Японии государство. Движение возникло в 1945 году, после окончания войны на Тихом океане. Некоторые рюкюсцы считали, что после начала оккупации Японии союзниками Рюкю (Окинава) должна в конечном итоге стать независимым государством, а не быть возвращена в состав Японии. Большинство же настаивало на объединении с метрополией, надеясь, что это ускорит конец её оккупации союзниками. Американо-японский договор о безопасности был подписан в 1951 году, и тогда же произошло формальное воссоединение Окина 류큐 독립운동(일본어: 琉球独立運動, 영어: Ryukyu independence movement) 혹은 오키나와 독립운동(沖縄独立運動)은 류큐 제도(오키나와현)가 일본에서 독립해야 한다는 운동이다. 1945년 일본의 태평양 전쟁 패전 후에, 일본에 점령되었던 류큐국(琉球国)의 귀속이 불분명한 상태에서 미국이나 일본으로의 편입이 아닌, 류큐 공화국(琉球共和国, 영어: Republic of the Ryukyus)이란 독립국가가 되었어야 했다고 주장하며 이를 실현하려는 운동이다. 琉球独立运动又稱沖繩獨立運動或者琉球复国运动，指的是將冲绳及其附属岛屿（琉球群岛）欲脱离日本的独立运动。 琉球群島曾長期是一個独立国家，1609年德川幕府入侵琉球王國，王國被迫向薩摩藩進貢，不過琉球王國被允許繼續保留獨立性以及與中國的關係和貿易，這種情況一直持續到19世紀中葉。 1872年，明治天皇單方面宣布琉球王國改制成琉球藩，史稱「第一次琉球處分」。不過出於當時清朝的外交壓力，琉球王國保持了表面的獨立。直到1879年3月27日明治政府正式吞併琉球王國，將琉球群島併入沖繩縣，奄美大島群併入鹿兒島縣。琉球末代國王尚泰被迫遷往東京，許多不滿日本統治的琉球人流亡清朝，被稱為脫清人。雖然在清國及美國的干涉下，曾一度有復國的提議，但由於復國後琉球王國將被逼將大量國土割讓給日本，因此被國王尚泰及琉球士族反對。雖然亡國後十多年琉球貴族一直以各種型式來拒絕日本的吞併，但隨着中日甲午戰爭中國戰敗後，清朝再也無力支持琉球王國復國，明治時期，日本政府持續地打壓琉球人的民族身份、文化、傳統和語言，將他們同化為大和族。最後一任琉球國王也於1901年去世，再度削弱了群島與前王國的歷史聯繫。 The Ryukyu independence movement (琉球独立運動, Ryūkyū Dokuritsu Undō) or the Republic of the Ryukyus (Japanese: 琉球共和国, Kyūjitai: 琉球共和國, Hepburn: Ryūkyū Kyōwakoku) is a political movement advocating for the independence of the Ryukyu Islands (commonly referred to as Okinawa after the largest island) from Japan. 琉球独立運動（りゅうきゅうどくりつうんどう、英: Ryukyu independence movement）は、1879年の琉球処分以降に始まった、琉球王国の再興、または国家の独立を求める運動。沖縄独立運動（おきなわどくりつうんどう）とも言う。琉球王国は、1609年の琉球侵攻や、1872年から1879年にかけての琉球処分などによって、日本に併合された歴史がある。 Gerakan kemerdekaan Ryukyu (琉球独立運動 Ryūkyū Dokuritsu Undō) atau Republik Ryukyu (Jepang: 琉球共和国, Kyūjitai: 琉球共和國 Hepburn: Ryūkyū Kyōwakoku) adalah sebuah gerakan yang meminta kemerdekaan Okinawa dan pulau-pulau sekitarnya (Kepulauan Ryukyu), dari Jepang. Pergerakan ini muncul pada tahun 1945 setelah berakhirnya Perang Pasifik.

류큐 독립운동(일본어: 琉球独立運動, 영어: Ryukyu independence movement) 혹은 오키나와 독립운동(沖縄独立運動)은 류큐 제도(오키나와현)가 일본에서 독립해야 한다는 운동이다. 1945년 일본의 태평양 전쟁 패전 후에, 일본에 점령되었던 류큐국(琉球国)의 귀속이 불분명한 상태에서 미국이나 일본으로의 편입이 아닌, 류큐 공화국(琉球共和国, 영어: Republic of the Ryukyus)이란 독립국가가 되었어야 했다고 주장하며 이를 실현하려는 운동이다. 琉球独立運動（りゅうきゅうどくりつうんどう、英: Ryukyu independence movement）は、1879年の琉球処分以降に始まった、琉球王国の再興、または国家の独立を求める運動。沖縄独立運動（おきなわどくりつうんどう）とも言う。琉球王国は、1609年の琉球侵攻や、1872年から1879年にかけての琉球処分などによって、日本に併合された歴史がある。 琉球独立运动又稱沖繩獨立運動或者琉球复国运动，指的是將冲绳及其附属岛屿（琉球群岛）欲脱离日本的独立运动。 琉球群島曾長期是一個独立国家，1609年德川幕府入侵琉球王國，王國被迫向薩摩藩進貢，不過琉球王國被允許繼續保留獨立性以及與中國的關係和貿易，這種情況一直持續到19世紀中葉。 1872年，明治天皇單方面宣布琉球王國改制成琉球藩，史稱「第一次琉球處分」。不過出於當時清朝的外交壓力，琉球王國保持了表面的獨立。直到1879年3月27日明治政府正式吞併琉球王國，將琉球群島併入沖繩縣，奄美大島群併入鹿兒島縣。琉球末代國王尚泰被迫遷往東京，許多不滿日本統治的琉球人流亡清朝，被稱為脫清人。雖然在清國及美國的干涉下，曾一度有復國的提議，但由於復國後琉球王國將被逼將大量國土割讓給日本，因此被國王尚泰及琉球士族反對。雖然亡國後十多年琉球貴族一直以各種型式來拒絕日本的吞併，但隨着中日甲午戰爭中國戰敗後，清朝再也無力支持琉球王國復國，明治時期，日本政府持續地打壓琉球人的民族身份、文化、傳統和語言，將他們同化為大和族。最後一任琉球國王也於1901年去世，再度削弱了群島與前王國的歷史聯繫。 當前的独立运动是主要在1945年太平洋戰爭結束後出現的，一些琉球族認為隨著日本戰敗，盟軍應幫助琉球復國而不是把主權歸還日本。然而，根據1971年的《沖繩歸還協定》，琉球群島於1972年5月15日將正式歸還日本。1952年簽署的美日安保條約規定美國繼續在日本駐軍，美國將繼續在沖繩島大量駐軍，這些事件為追求琉球獨立的新政治激進主義奠定了基礎。琉球獨立運動活動家認為，無論是1609年日本薩摩藩的侵略，還是明治時期設立的沖繩縣，都是對琉球王國的殖民吞併。 活動家強烈批評無論在過去還是現在，對琉球人民和領土的虐待從未停止，當中包括美國使用沖繩島土地作為大型軍事基地一事。沖繩僅佔日本領土的0.6%，但美國軍隊的駐軍卻佔了沖繩縣的 10.4%，即整個琉球群島的18.8-20%。 多年來美軍在琉球群島的活動成為了琉球獨立運動活動家的關注，美軍人員金在沖繩犯下多起罪行，其中最著名的是1995年的駐沖繩美軍強姦12歲少女事件和麥可·布朗沖繩非禮事件。美國軍隊的持續存在現今仍是爭論的焦點，尤其是針對普天間空軍基地的爭論。 美國軍方並未能兌現在1996年作出的減少駐軍的承諾，獨立運動家還強調日本接受的美國基地對群島環境的影響。 Gerakan kemerdekaan Ryukyu (琉球独立運動 Ryūkyū Dokuritsu Undō) atau Republik Ryukyu (Jepang: 琉球共和国, Kyūjitai: 琉球共和國 Hepburn: Ryūkyū Kyōwakoku) adalah sebuah gerakan yang meminta kemerdekaan Okinawa dan pulau-pulau sekitarnya (Kepulauan Ryukyu), dari Jepang.

Большинство же настаивало на объединении с метрополией, надеясь, что это ускорит конец её оккупации союзниками. Американо-японский договор о безопасности был подписан в 1951 году, и тогда же произошло формальное воссоединение Окинавы с Японией, предусматривающее продолжение американского военного присутствия на архипелаге. Это подготовило почву для возобновления политического движения за независимость Рюкю. O movimento de independência de Ryukyu (琉球独立運動 Ryūkyū Dokuritsu Undō)ou República de Ryukyu (em Japonês: 琉球共和国 , Kyūjitai: 琉球共和國 , Hepburn: Ryūkyū Kyōwakoku) é um movimento para a independência de Okinawa e as ilhas vizinhas (Ilhas Ryukyu), do Japão. O movimento surgiu em 1945, após o fim da Guerra do Pacífico. Após a ocupação de Okinawa pelos aliados, alguns okinawanos (uchinanchus), sentiram que as ilhas Ryukyu (Okinawa) deveriam, tornar-se um estado independente, em vez de serem devolvidas ao Japão. A maioria, porém, preferia a unificação com o Japão, na esperança de que isto iria apressar o fim da ocupação dos Aliados lá. As ilhas foram devolvidas ao Japão em 15 de Maio de 1972, como Província de Okinawa. O Tratado de Segurança EUA-Japão assinado em 1952 previu a continuação da presença militar americana no Japão, com os Estados Unidos mantendo uma forte presença na Ilha de Okinawa, mesmo após a reunificação. Este conjunto fez-se renovar o movimento político para a independência de Ryukyu (Okinawa). The Ryukyu independence movement (琉球独立運動, Ryūkyū Dokuritsu Undō) or the Republic of the Ryukyus (Japanese: 琉球共和国, Kyūjitai: 琉球共和國, Hepburn: Ryūkyū Kyōwakoku) is a political movement advocating for the independence of the Ryukyu Islands (commonly referred to as Okinawa after the largest island) from Japan. The current political manifestation of the movement emerged in 1945, after the end of the Pacific War. Some Ryukyuan people felt, as the Allied Occupation (USMGRI 1945–1950) began, that the Ryukyus should eventually become an independent state instead of being returned to Japan. However, the islands were returned to Japan on 15 May 1972 as the Okinawa Prefecture according to the 1971 Okinawa Reversion Agreement. The US-Japan Security Treaty (ANPO) signed in 1952 provides for the continuation of the American military presence in Japan, and the United States continues to maintain a heavy military presence on Okinawa Island. This set the stage for renewed political activism for Ryukyuan independence. The Ryukyu independence movement maintains that both the 1609 invasion by Satsuma Domain and the Meiji construction of the Okinawa prefecture as colonial annexations of the Ryukyu Kingdom. It is highly critical of the abuses of Ryukyuan people and territory, both in the past and in the present day (such as the use of Okinawan land to host large American military bases). Okinawa comprises only 0.6% of all Japanese territory, yet 75% of all United States military forces are stationed in U.S. facilities that take up 10.4% of Okinawa Prefecture i.e. 18.8-20% of Okinawa Island. U.S military personnel have been involved in many crimes committed in Okinawa over the years, one of the most well-known being the 1995 Okinawa rape incident and the Michael Brown Okinawa assault incident. The continued presence of the U.S. military remains a source of contention, especially against the Futenma Air Station. The U.S. military has failed to follow through on its promise established in 1996 to reduce its presence. Independentists also emphasize the environmental impact of the American bases accepted by Tokyo.
