The Sulu Islands are an archipelago of 958 islands scattered between Mindanao and North Borneo in the southwest of the Philippines. They are also called the Sulu Islands. Administratively, they are divided into three provinces, with a total population of 756,000 (1980). They cover an area of ​​4,014 km2 . The main islands are Jolo and Tawi-Tawi. Many of the islands are volcanic. The inhabitants are Muslim Tausug, Sama, Bajau, and others, collectively known as Moro. The area has traded with the Chinese and Malays since the 13th century, and is rich in pearl oysters and other marine products. Islam spread in the 14th century, and the Sulu Sultanate was formed in the 15th century. The Sulu Sultanate fought the Moro War against Spanish invasions from the 16th century onwards, and maintained its independence, but in 1915 it came under American rule, and in 1940 it was incorporated into the Philippines. After the Philippines gained independence, the Sulu Archipelago, along with Mindanao, became the base of the Moro National Liberation Movement (MNLF), and a separatist struggle unfolded. In 1990, the government granted autonomy to the archipelago, and peace talks have been held since, but Sulu remains the base of the MNLF's Misuari faction.

フィリピン南西部,ミンダナオ島と北ボルネオとの間に散在する958の島からなる諸島。スルー諸島とも。行政的には3州に分かれ,合計で75万6000人(1980)。4014km2。主島はホロ島とタウィタウィ島。火山性の島が多い。住民はイスラム教徒タウスグ人,サマ人,バジャウ人などで,モロと総称される。古く13世紀ごろから中国人,マレー人と交易のあった地で,真珠貝その他海産物に富む。14世紀にイスラムが広まり,15世紀にはスルタンを戴くスールー王国が形成された。スールー王国は16世紀以降,スペインの侵略に抗してモロ戦争を戦い,独立を守ったが,1915年米国の支配に服し,1940年にフィリピンに編入された。フィリピン独立後,スールー諸島はミンダナオ島とともにモロ民族解放運動(MNLF)の拠点となり,分離独立闘争が展開された。1990年,政府は自治権を賦与し,以降和平調停がなされているが,スールーはいぜんとしてMNLFミスアリ派の拠点となっている。
