*''Japanese'': 台湾遭難事件 ''(Taiwan sounan jiken)''

In late 1871, a ship returning to [[Miyako Island]] after paying [[tribute]] in [[Shuri]] was caught in a typhoon and shipwrecked on the southeastern coast of Taiwan, where many of the Miyako Islanders were killed by Taiwanese aborigines. An international incident ensued, in which China and Japan clashed over control over, and responsibility for, both Taiwan and the Ryûkyûs, eventually leading to the [[Taiwan Expedition of 1874|deployment of Japanese troops in Taiwan in 1874]], very nearly leading to the outright break out of war between China and Japan, and ending with the Japanese annexation of the Ryûkyûs in [[1879]].
