Never miss an opportunity to say "Nobunaga's ambition"
I would love a more detailed video on some of these conflicts like the Onin War or the Sengoku Jidai, but an overview of all of them is also very cool
Coming up
@@KingsandGenerals you guys are doing absolutely spectacular work here. Bar none.
@@KingsandGenerals🎉🎉🎉
@@KingsandGeneralsthis is great to hear
@KingsandGenerals will that include the genpei war?
"Nobunaga's Ambition". I was hoping you would drop that. This is why I love you guys!
FYI : The Tokugawa family is still here, but the current leader Iehiro Tokugawa (59 yrs old) is still here but he doesn't has a son/daughter but he can adopt someone in the Tokugawa to take his place
Like he used to be the grandson of the Tokugawa leader and adopted by his grandfather as his "son" ( Funny his dad has to call him "brother")
Damn imagine fighting so hard to become the top dog of all dogs only for one of your offsprings to end the bloodline
@@Jake-dh9qk Plenty of dynasties died out that achieved more than the Tokugawas.
@@MyVaniryou think Tokugawas didn’t have extended families? For 260 years, they incorporated entire regions with their extended families. Meiji reformation didn’t oust all of them. Many of Tokugawa lords and councilors simply became governors and royals after Meiji.
some woman should be forced to bear his sons.
But
Just wanted to let you know of an error in the video if you wanted to correct it: Commodore Perry is shown with an English flag instead of an American one.
If you can do better then make a video yourself instead of getting mad at a simple mistake in an otherwise great video.@@Karlach_
@@Karlach_I would guess they are not Americans.
@@Karlach_ Limited resources maybe
@@Karlach_ jeez man were your parents this harsh to you growing up?
Mistakes happen, Commodore sounds very British, one could be forgiven the error. Love your work, and this video is awesome. Thank you for what you do.
Have to mention that Ashikaga Takauji and Tadayoshi did not actively want to fight Go-daigo directly, in fact, the two wanted continued to negotiate with Yoshino court even after Go-daigo died in 1339 to make peace with the Southern Court with Takauji temporarily taking the side of the Southern Court which was the Shohei unification, a short lived termination of the Ashikaga Bakufu with Takauji no longer Seii-taishogun in 1352, even if, he was shogun from 1338-58 when looking at the period officially. That was in all likelihood a political maneuver to end the war with his brother, my favorite part of the period being the Kanno Disturbance.
Now, going back to the Nakasendai war in 1335, Tokiyuki was a 10 year old child so the intent behind the war was use to him as a banner to gather the remaining Hojo forces in the Kanto to take it back mainly pushed by the Suwa clan , only reason why Takauji even fought back was because Yoshisada was converging on the Kanto along with Akiie from Mutsu, but Takauji wasn't of the same footing as those two until he was approached by Kogon-in and given the imperial decree at the recommendation of Harimas own Akamatsu Enshin, only then did more warrior's actively make their side known since Ashikaga was fighting for the Retired emperor now and the opposition to the Jimyo-in line, making it so that his actions were legitimate and not that of a rebel even if he did technically rebel against Go-daigo, the current Emperor, and his administration. If anything, momentum changed after Takauji had gained significant support in Kyushu with only the Kikuchi showing any real animosity to the Ashikaga since they were Pro-Southren Court but families like Shimazu, Shoni, Otomo, etc... supported him and fought with him once Ashikaga made their way back onto Honshu, took Kyoto, sought to negotiate with Go-daigo, but that didn't go far since he refused the terms to have Go-Murakami be next in line amongst other conditions.
Will we have a series on the last years of the shogunate and imperial Japan, covering the boshin war and the satsuma rebellion ?
Sengoku series first
Omg Thank You so much!!! I am no longer free this afternoon lol! Been hoping for this for sometime was hoping for some cameos from charles nove but this is absolutely beautiful 😄💚🖤
"The Era of Shogun and Samurai is End!" - Kawaki Mutsuhito
Technically the Last Shogun in Japan is American General Douglas MacArthur AKA Gaijin(foreigner) Shogun.
Fun fact: In reality much of samurai clans sided with Emperor instead of Ashikaga. Conflict had continued and it took another 60 yrs for the Ashikaga shogunate to unify Japan
That's a little incorrect seeing as Ashikaga had plenty of support themselves, not just from their ichimon like Hosokawa or Shiba. The war only lasted that long because whilst they were clans that sided with the Emperor initially, they did change sides as time went on and that weakened the Southern Court, nevermind that the Northern Court still had instability directly caused by the Ashikaga Bakufu.
Truth is, the Ashikaga Bakufu was stronger than the Yoshino court forces/clans that aligned themselves with Go-daigo/Go-Murakami.
Thanks for a great and thorough video!
Great stuff! It actually clarifies the shogunate period. I didn't know there was only three of such periods.
I wish you'll cover the Genpei and Boshin wars eventually, because these are very interesting and history-changing wars.
Very informative and very well done!
Really enjoying this Japan content, thank you!
This content is absolutely fantastic. Kudos to the creators!
Kings and Generals- this is a great channel!
I was skeptical you would be able to cover the history of the shogun, but Im impressed. Great introduction to it.
It's crazy that most samurai nobility in japan were practically descended from the Emperor. Like Oda and Hojo from Taira, Tokugawa, Ashikaga, and Takeda from Minamoto.
Most European royal houses descended from Charlemagne (Carolingian), including Windsor (current British Royal House), Habsburg (former Spanish & Austrian Royal Family), Capetian/Bourbons (French), Hohenzollern (Prussia/Germany), Wittelsbach (Bavaria), etc.
So too the case with Central Asian dynasties, most of them descended from Genghis Khan (Chingizid), while many Arab rulers related to, or descended from Quraish tribe (Muhammad's tribe).
@@crayonsukrou913 but male line Charlemagne is dead, the clans i mentioned above is strictly male line
@@winjiro The direct male line of the main branch that is (main Carolingian branch). Otherwise the line still going on: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree_of_German_monarchs
@@winjiro The blood of the Japanese emperor runs in the Minamoto clan.
nepotism am i right
Great vid!
Thanks!
Thanks for the good video 👍🏻
thank you this is so interesting to me
Good, but I'd definitely rework on the animations for the last part. Correct the use of flags (wrong countries and wrong period), army units (using ashigaru when more modern armies were more common), portraits (could have been old photos or different art) and boats for the 19th century period.
Shogun assassin got me interested in Japanese history 20yrs ago, great to see it well documented on the best history channel ever.
I'm loving all the recent Japanese content.
Really interesting video. On a completely unrelated note with the subject, will you be able one day to talk about the Rebellions of 1837-1838 in Canada?
Will consider!
Tokugawa Shogunate exists*
Emperor Meiji with the Imperial Faction:
Honourable Restoration of Power to us!
would love to see more about Taked-Uesugi war, and their legendary daimyos
Don't forget about all the demons that had to be destroyed and the Amrita that was behind all the fighting. Can't forget about Kelly and William or how Yoshitsune was actually a half Tengu demon with a living tea pot called Benkei as his companion. Super important stuff ya know.
Ayy Nioh
@@omagus19 Ah, a fellow man of culture
I wonder if they mentioned the moody anjin and his ships
I want a video on independence war of Bangladesh
Some of the shogun history could date back to the Tokugawa era or simply say the Edo period, and mainly happens at the province of Misashi during the 16 hundredth, often that the shogun fought so violently for different warlords as Shogun by Hiroyuki Samada and Anna sawai can be some of the greatest examples here.
Thank you for your work. If possible how about a more complete video about the Boshin war ? I'm a huge fan of Rurouni Kenshin.
will be made at some point!
Still waiting on Samurai battle tactics
🥲
I'd love to see you guys do a detailed series on the Boshin War. I've always wanted to see a detailed video on Toba Fushimi, finding maps of the battle is virtually impossible unless you speak Japanese.
We'll get there
nice video
The Boshin War and Satsuma Rebellion were very confusing and difficult to understand for me. I first tried to look at it as ideological conflicts, such as isolationism vs opening Japan up to the world, or traditionalism vs progressivism, but if you do that, it becomes kind of fishy which side wants what. In the end, it was really more a naked power struggle than anything else.
So basically, Boshin war is all about the end of the ruling Shogunate and the restoration of the Imperial family to power.
While the Satsuma rebellion was launched to try to save the old ways from completely wiping out in history.
@@shanmianhiyueshongdaojukei9732 Yes, what I failed to do was to assign either party in either conflict with any sort of ideological position. It wasn't that one side clearly favored isolationism and traditionalism, while the other side wanted to open Japan up and modernize. And that is what I initially assumed was the case.
I concluded that in reality, it really was all about power. The Boshin war was about whether the Emperor or the Shogun was the supreme authority. The Satsuma rebellion was about whether or not the Samurai class would be able to hold onto some of its priviledges. And that's really the gist of it.
@@KroganCharrConfucian-Buddhist-Daoist cultures are generally more pragmatic in regards to various sects and what their followers must do! Ideological adherence was a thing originating in and always much more of a compelling force in the west
I will explain it clearly. The official name of a shogun is Seii-dai-shogun 征夷大将軍.
The meaning is the Secretary of Defense, who is the commander-in-chief of the military that protects the country from enemies.
Later, as they pursued the enemy and worked far from the capital, they were given administrative jurisdiction.
This is the Shogunate (幕府). At first, the authority was limited to a few regions as a representative of the Imperial Court,
but later came to be able to manage the politics of Japan as a whole on behalf of the Imperial Court 朝廷.
In other words, the legitimacy of a shogun is to protect the country.
The Boshin War was triggered by the Tokugawa shogunate's unequal treaties with Western empires such as the United States.
The main purpose of the beginning of the civil war and the establishment of the new Meiji restration was to end this unequal treaty.
I don't normally recommend Netflix for much of anything, but I do recommend their "Age of Samurai'.
It is pretty well done, with reenactments of the reigns of the Oda, Toyatomi, and Tokugawa supplemented by interviews with experts on Japanese feudal history.
After their Cleopatra and Alexander "docuseries" I'd say their credibility is shot. They may not be the history channel but they are trying their best to be. I'll stick to YT channels like KNG for my history.
@@fatalshore5068That's your prerogative and your loss... now, unless you have something more to say... take care.
@@John-ir4id except they actually have many wrong first they make nobunaga some unculture brute while nobunaga indeed eccentrict he far from uncultured (he intrest in tea ceremony and other) , they didnt mentioned conflict with uesugi or mori instead they focused on relatively less important iga campaign , they also make masamune date much more powerfull when hideyoshi literally smugly take aizu from masamune infact hideyoshi nearly kill him not one but twice times and lastly they make iaeyasu as yong man in sekigahara campaign when he was already old age by that time.
@@bintangyudha8182 that's the thing. I know better than to expect Netflix to choose accuracy over entertainment. Still, it is what prompted me to seek out this channel as I knew they had covered it.
@@bintangyudha8182 I'm not claiming Netflix to be a stellar source of history. Obviously, they will pick drama over historical accuracy every time. However, I don't think they did the period or these men any great injustice. You can nitpick over the details, but considering the audience it was aimed at and the fact that it is historical drama - drama being the operative word, I think it was well done and any sane person would be smart enough to find other sources and perspectives to flesh out their understanding.
P.S., speaking of resources and perspectives, sorry if I prefer to take the words of people who have made it their lives to study the period over some random person on the internet.
Long Live Ashikaga!
What I liked in the whole situation is that they were all from the same clan Seiwa Genji from the Kamakura shogunate to the Ashikaga shogunate and the last one is Tokugawa shogunate and they were The tribe that ruled Japan three times.
There is an error in the video, the 3 Imperial Treasures and Chrysanthemum throne is not for the Shogun, it's exclusive to the Emperor only
12:27
I see the Shogun 2 reference
It's interesting to note that even when the shogun linage was at the height of it's power, the position of emperor remained and could not be replaced/removed/subverted and sprung back to dominate.
Certainly the ambitions of the shoguns that limited the authority of the Emperor would of dreamed of becoming Emperor themselves or at least ending the line of royalty. Yet though all of this the royal family held strong and remains while the rest is largely history with heavy meaning to the current situation.
Epic
Nicely done video. Also today is my Birthday. 🎁🎁👍👍
Happy Birthday!
@@KingsandGenerals---thank you
Excellent video
Was the Shogunate bad?
They conferred with their peers before any decisive action.
Then cam WW2.
If you please make a video on various revolts of prince against his father in various dynasties. Mainly against his biological father (king) dynasties, their purpose and their root cause and and how we can interpret them in present scenario also in modern politics. Please explain this
12:28 that shogun 2 reference!
When will you guys do a series about the Order of the Templars?
At some point!
@@KingsandGenerals They almost succeeded on merging the traditions of orient and oxident... but were ultimately extinguished by cowards.
W Video 🎉
Edo was once a small village but once the Tokugawa shogunate settled there, over time it grew into Tokyo.
It was a hotly contested area before Ieyasu was even born, Ota Dokan, a vassal of the Ogigyatsu Uesugi made it into an important area in the Kanto which the Hojo went on to claim, Ujiyasu even had a residence there so it was by no means a sleepy little village that sprung to life once Ieyasu moved there on 1590/91.
@@thedragonofechigo7878 But Edo only grew in significance and size when the Shogunate established its base there.
@Jungletraveler00_12, but to see it as a small village does undermine its significance during the Sengoku period. While it wasn't that important until Ieyasu set foot there, to call it a small village is wrong when there was already a castle there, which Ota Dokan built. It already had a lot going for it otherwise Ieyasu would've considered his base elsewhere.
@@thedragonofechigo7878 Small village compared to its expansion under the Shogunate and later as Tokyo.
Like many feudal lords around the world, the Shogun has been called by many different names throughout history. Here are some examples:
・Kamakura-dono or Muromachi-dono (meaning Lord of Kamakura or Lord of Muromachi)
Mainly used by the samurai class to refer to the Shogun. It can also be used to refer to the Shogunate itself. It is an familiar name to most samurai who are not familiar with the Kyoto system.
・Kubō (meaning "official ruler")
Originally a title for the nobility. It did not necessarily mean the highest power, and there was a time when there were multiple titles in various regions.
・Taiju (meaning big tree)
Mainly used by the nobility to refer to the Shogun. It is a fairly respectful usage. Another name (Chinese name) for the Seii Taishogun in the Ritsuryo system. It comes from a story from the Later Han period.
Interesting.
The Last Shogun in Japan is American General Douglas MacArthur he is also known as Gaijin(foreigner) Shogun.
Gai-Dogo xD lol
I really really love and enjoy this series nevertheless!
Wow that's remind me from an old friend of mine ,The RAIDEN SHOGUN
I recommend Kessen for the Playstation if you wanna expirence Tokugawa
6:45 sad you didn't mention Yoshitsune's escape to the North and the demise of the Northern Fujiwara.
The map at 11:14 has an error. The locations of the Takeda and Mori domains are switched around.
1:35 “ruling”
In Taisho era.
The physical body of the Shogunate might have gone extinct but the spiritual body of it still exists as the rivalry of the Imperial Army and imperial Navy. Even though working under one government the two militaristic forces still opposed one another like the daimyo of old.
Question: If the Kenmu Restoration succeeded, how will this affected Japan's history?
love your videos a small from Delhi,India
I've tried to join the channel but available credit cards from Nigeria don't (VISA and Mastercard) are no longer being taken for payment 😢
Is there any other mode of payment?
Heya, sorry to hear that. Try our patreon
Pls what is the name of the song from 13:25 to 14:15
Hello Kings and Generals can you plzz make a video of Indo-Pak war.
Time to play TW: Shogun 2 once more!
15:40 Just wondering why Perry has the Red Cross of St. George as his banner? I mean Commodore Perry was a US naval officer in command of a US Navy ship... 🤣
A mistake on our end
One of the warlord Date Masamune, some of his descendants joined the entertainment industry as artists
Such as Date Mikio (comedian) and Date Sayuri (CV for LoveLive Superstar) and related
Interesting that Kings and Generals has a very good view on how people articulate real history.? 0:43
Wasn't Edo renamed Tokyo after the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate??
why does Commodore Perry have the english st. george cross in the video? I mean he is american after all.
awesome. now can we please have the Roman Dacian wars
Yawn!!
It is always fascinating thinking about how in the show is set in 1600 and just 345 years later they will get nuked.
"1545. This is Sengoku Jidai, the age of the country at war."
Parallels with the Mayors of the Palace in late Merovingian France.
TORANAGA SAMA!
The shogun was very much tip for toe it’s interesting how things turned out the way they would.? 3:17 it’s like a troll trying to contemplate the more Osteen the more favouritism of recruitment.? 4:10
I hope samurai warrior 6 starting more early before nobunaga...
is no one gonna point out that he got the part about the onin war wrong?
hosokawa won but the shogun's son became the heir, not his brother, bcus the brother switched sides(meaning both claimants are on the same side, then the kid was selected later) and the war really being a conflict b/w 2 clans, and the succession dispute is just an excuse to fight
The most important kind of shougun is the nabe shougun.
The Fujiwara clan famously married their daughters into the Imperial Family, allowing them control over the Heian court for 200 years
Why was Commodore Perry shown with an English flag if he was American? Is there any reason or was it just a mistake?
Love your history videos given how things are would it be all right to have a history video talking about Israel and Palestine history like from the beginning to the present?
Not longer than the Ethiopian dynasty💯
History of Shotgu- ohh... Wait Shogun
With the Shogunate at the time they were very vigilant with what they perceived as very much insolent posturing from the west but as the continued they were very cretaceous in their beliefs however fostered they may be 0:53.?

@@mango2005 yea I forgot about it
What if just what if there was a Shogun from another country?
Like Australia
If the Shogun wanted to retain power then why didn't they just abolish the Emperor office or fuse the Shogun office with the Emperor office?
Tradition. You can take away emperor's authority, but he will remain the religious symbol. Why mess with that if you already have the authority and don't expect the emperor to do anything.
The reign of the old Shogunate is OVER!
Takeda
1068 , it's Goryeo, not joseon.
So the emperor can still dress like an emperor, and has very nice things?
Lmaoooo
Ka-MA-ku-ra, not "Ka-ma-ku-ra." The stress is on the 2nd syllable
But what actually happened during those 2.5 centuries while the Tokugawa ruled? Just nothing noteworthy?
The role of the Shogunate in the Mongol invasion.
