The {{Nihongo|'''Senkaku Islands'''|{{linktext|尖|閣|諸|島}}|Senkaku Shotō|variants: ''Senkaku-guntō''<ref>National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, [http://geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-368031&fid=3261&c=japan Senkaku-guntō, Japan], retrieved 2010-09-20.</ref> and ''Senkaku-rettō''<ref>National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, [http://geographic.org/geographic_names/name.php?uni=-368032&fid=3261&c=japan Senkaku-rettō, Japan], retrieved 2010-09-20.</ref>}}, also known as the '''Diaoyu Islands''' or '''Diaoyutai Islands''' ({{zh|t={{linktext|釣|魚|台|群|島}}|s={{linktext|钓|鱼|岛|及|其|附|属|岛|屿}}|p=Diàoyútái Qúndǎo}}) or the '''Pinnacle Islands''', are a group of [[territorial dispute|disputed]] [[Desert island|uninhabited islands]] in the [[East China Sea]]. They are located roughly northeast of [[Taiwan]], due west of [[Okinawa]], and due north of the southwestern end of the [[Ryukyu Islands]].

[[Japan]] controlled these islands from 1895 until her [[Surrender of Japan|surrender]] at the end of [[World War II]]. The [[United States]] administered them as part of the [[United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands]] from 1945 until 1972, when they were reverted to Japan. Since 1971, they have also been claimed by both the [[Republic of China]] (Taiwan) and the [[People's Republic of China]]. China has claimed discovery and administration between 16th century or earlier until 1895.<ref>Lee, Seokwoo. (2002). {{Google books|MZGsi1ptLvoC|''Territorial Disputes Among Japan, China and Taiwan Concerning the Senkaku Islands,'' pp. 10-13.|page=10}}</ref>

The islands are a major issue in [[People's Republic of China – Japan relations|foreign relations between Japan and the PRC]] and [[Republic of China – Japan relations|between Japan and the ROC]]. Despite the [[Cross-strait relations|complexity of relations]] between the two states, both the governments of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and People's Republic of China agree that the islands are part of [[Taiwan Province|Taiwan]] as part of [[Toucheng, Yilan|Toucheng Township]] in [[Yilan County, Taiwan|Yilan County]]. The Japanese government regards these islands as a part of [[Ishigaki, Okinawa|Ishigaki]], [[Okinawa Prefecture]].

==Names==
The first recorded name of the islands, ''Diaoyu'', used in books such as ''[[Voyage with a Tail Wind]]'' ({{zh|t=順風相送|s=顺风相送|p=Shǜnfēng Xiāngsòng}}) and ''[[Record of the Imperial Envoy's Visit to Ryūkyū]]'' ({{zh|t=使琉球錄|s=使琉球录|p=Shĭ Liúqiú Lù}}) date to 1403 and 1534, respectively. Adopted by the Chinese Imperial Map of the Ming Dynasty, both the [[Chinese language|Chinese]] name for the island group (''Diaoyu'') and the [[Japanese language|Japanese]] name for the main island (''Uotsuri'') both literally mean "[[angling]]".

The first published description of the islands in the West was brought to Europe by [[Isaac Titsingh]] in 1796. His small library of Japanese books included {{Nihongo|''[[Sangoku Tsūran Zusetsu]]''|三国通覧図説|''An Illustrated Description of Three Countries''}} by [[Hayashi Shihei]].<ref>WorldCat, [http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=Sangoku+Ts%C5%ABran+Zusetsu&qt=results_page ''Sangoku Tsūran Zusetsu'']; alternate [[romaji]] [http://www.worldcat.org/search?q=Sankoku+Ts%C5%ABran+Zusetsu&qt=results_page ''Sankoku Tsūran Zusetsu'']</ref> This book, which was published in Japan in 1785, described the [[Ryūkyū Kingdom]].<ref>Cullen, Louis M. (2003). {{Google books|ycY_85OInSoC|''A History of Japan, 1582-1941: Internal and External Worlds,'' p. 137.|page=137}}</ref> In 1832, the [[Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland#Oriental Translation Fund of Great Britain and Ireland|Oriental Translation Fund of Great Britain and Ireland]] supported the posthumous abridged publication of Titsingh's French translation.<ref>[[Julius Klaproth|Klaproth, Julius]]. (1832). {{Google books|lsoNAAAAIAAJ|''San kokf tsou ran to sets, ou Aperçu général des trois royaumes,'' pp. 169-180.|page=i}}</ref>

The first reference to the islands in a book published in English was [[Edward Belcher]]'s 1848 account of the voyages of HMS ''Sammarang'' <ref>Suganuma, Unryu. (2001). {{Google books|vDpEiKR2osoC|''Sovereign Rights and Territorial Space in Sino-Japanese Relations,'' pp. 87, 89-90|page=87}}</ref> which anchored off Pinnacle Island in 1845.<ref>Belcher, Edward. (1848). {{Google books|jotKAAAAYAAJ|''Narrative of the Voyage of H.M.S. Samarang,'' pp. 316-318, 573.|page=316}}</ref>

In 1870s and 1880s, the English name Pinnacle Islands was used by the British navy for the rocks adjacent to the largest island ''Uotsuri Jima''/''Diaoyu Dao'' (then called ''Hoa-pin-su''); ''Kuba Jima''/''Huangwei Yu'' (then called ''Ti-a-usu''); and ''Taishō Jima''/''Chiwei Yu''.<ref>Suganuma, {{Google books|vDpEiKR2osoC|p. 90.|page=90}}; Jarrad, Frederick W. (1873). {{Google books|LvoGAAAAQAAJ|''The China Sea Directory,'' Vol. IV, pp. 141-142.|page=141}}</ref> The name "Pinnacle Islands" is used by some as an English-language equivalent to "Diaoyu" or "Senkaku".<ref>Hagström, Linus. (2005). {{Google books|P6gZqPBBMdkC| ''Japan's China Policy: A Relational Power Analysis,'' p. 1.|page=1}}</ref>

In 1900, when Tsune Kuroiwa, a teacher at the Okinawa Prefecture Normal School, visited the islands, he adopted the name ''Senkaku Retto'' ({{zh|t=尖閣列島|s=尖阁列岛|p=Jiāngéliè Dăo}}), literally ''Pinnacle Islands'', to refer the whole island group, based on the British name.<!--where is this source cited? <ref name="gaiko monjo" />--> The first official document recording the name Senkaku Retto was by the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs in ''Nihon Gaiko Monjo'' (日本外交文書, Documents on Japanese Foreign Relations) in the 1950s.<!-- <ref name="gaiko monjo" /> --> In Japanese, {{Nihongo|'''Sentō Shosho'''|尖頭諸嶼}} and {{Nihongo|'''Senkaku Shosho'''|尖閣諸嶼}} were translations used for these "Pinnacle Islands" by various Japanese sources. Subsequently, the entire island group (including ''Uotsuri Jima''/''Diaoyu Dao'' and all the others) came to be called ''Senkaku Rettō'', which later evolved into ''Senkaku Shotō''.<!-- <ref name="gaiko monjo" />-->

[[Image:Senkaku-uotsuri.jpg|thumb|right|Diaoyu Dao/Uotsuri Jima]]

The islands sit on the edge of the continental shelf of mainland Asia, and are separated from the [[Ryukyu Islands]] by the [[Okinawa Trough]].

In ascending order of distances, the island cluster is
* {{convert|140|km|nmi mi|lk=out}} east of [[Pengjia Islet]]<ref>[http://www.acap.aq/ Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrals (ACAP)], [http://data.acap.aq/breeding_site.cfm?bs_id=2499 Breeding site details: Agincourt/P'eng-chia-Hsu]</ref>
* {{convert|170|km|nmi mi|lk=out}} north of [[Ishigaki Island]]
* {{convert|186|km|nmi mi|lk=out}} northeast of [[Keelung]]
* {{convert|410|km|nmi mi|lk=out}} west of [[Okinawa Island]]

Japan put these islets under the administration of [[Okinawa]] whereas the [[People's Republic of China]] and [[Republic of China]] (Taiwan) see it as a part of [[Taiwan]].

Diaoyu Dao/Uotsuri Jima, the largest island, has a number of [[Endemism|endemic]] species such as the [[Senkaku Mole|Mogera uchidai]] and Okinawa-kuro-oo-ari ant, but these have become threatened by [[Capra (genus)|domestic goats]] that were introduced to the island in 1978 and whose population has increased to over 300 since that time.

Amongst all islands, Nan Xiaodao/ Minami Kojima is one of the few breeding places of the rare [[Short-tailed Albatross]] (''Phoebastria albatrus'').

==Historical events and territorial dispute==
{{Main|Senkaku Islands dispute}}
Disagreements about the causes of the dispute are an additional subject of controversy.<ref>Yamada, Takao.
