I know (or have read) that Okinawans were not allowed to have weapons, so they developed a type of martial art that didn't require the use of weapons: this is where karate came from. (I don't know if this is actually true, or just a story.) As for wars, better check Wikipedia under "Okinawa" or "Ryukyu Islands".
