Okinawa's “Darkest Year”
View through CrossRef
“The scene is set for bloodshed and possibly the darkest year in Okinawa's modern history,”Ota Masahide, Governor of Okinawa 1990-1998, Naha, 3 July 2014As Japan burned in the mid-summer heat of 2014, the long-running “Okinawa problem” entered a critical, perhaps decisive, phase. On the question of whether to build or not to build a major new military base for the US Marine Corps in the waters off Northern Okinawa, Tokyo (backed by Washington) confronts Okinawa. The stakes and the level of commitment are high and there is no sign to be seen of any readiness to compromise or submit.
