The succession of the Oda was actually interesting. Many daimyos of the age had the tendency to pass over the clan leadership to their successors way before their passing and Nobunaga was no exception. They mostly did it when the extent of their ambition has been reached or in fear of a succession crisis upon their deaths. Around the late 1570s after the official fall of the Muromachi Shogunate and his victory over the Anti-Nobunaga Coalition, Nobunaga handed the reigns of power to his eldest son Nobutada and gave him dominion over the core lands of the Oda in Owari and Mino so that he could focus on unification of Japan. He also parceled out fiefs in Ise and Iga Province for his other sons and his brothers. He then left Gifu castle his seat in Mino and took residence in the castles of his vassals in Omi Province as he built Azuchi Castle. So the logic that Hideyoshi used to sway the Council at Kiyosu is that they were not looking for a successor for Nobunaga but rather for Nobutada who was already Daimyo of the Oda by the time of his death. Thus Sanboshi was selected as his father's successor over his uncles.
In now what is Iwakuni city Yamaguchi Prefecture. You can see what happened to the losing side with the Mori clan...which would be a cool video for this series. Anyways, I just want to think you and your team for doing this for members like us. I've yet to see a channel that gives back as much as the members put in for these videos. Thank you.
Tadaoki also tricked his brother in law (his sisters husband) into joining the Akechi but didn't join himself and supported the Hashiba himslef so he could take his land (they shared the same province) which led to the death of his BiL his sisters was so pissed that she attacked him
I don't think Tadaoki actually divorced his wife, Gracia, Akechi's daughter. They might have separated yes but looking further forward to the Battle of Sekigahara, she was one of the targets of Mitsunari Ishida, one of the leaders of the Western Army who sought to coerce various lords including Tadaoki from joining the Tokugawa's Eastern Army by taking their families hostages. She was in the vicinity of Kyoto when the Western Army advanced and helped the other families escape and was almost captured herself but she resorted to having one of her servants kill her instead of committing suicide as she was a Christian. This further emboldened Tadaoki to join the Eastern Army even leaving his lands in the West undefended and his aging parents were left to defend their castle with meagre troops as he went East to join up with Ieyasu Tokugawa.
Hideyoshi should be remembered as one of the all-time great figures and generals of history. To rise from the peasant class to the unofficial Shogunate is unreal, and there are few parallels to his career. Really love the Sengoku era. Love that you're giving this a detailed look.
Akechi Mitsuhide was the subject of the 2020 NHK Taiga series ‘Kirin Ga Kuru’. The trailer and the clip of Honnoji are on UA-cam. It starts with Mitsuhide in the service of Saito Dosan who became Oda Nobunaga’s father-in-law. It started with promise as Mitsuhide and Nobunaga became close. Mitsuhide started turning against Nobunaga at the destruction and massacre at Mt. Hiei. Very bloody depiction. The Ashikaga Shogun being cast out. This has one of the best depiction of Hideyoshi. Starting out like a simpleton trying to attract Nobunaga’s attention. Becoming one of his commanders. Hideyoshi is devious and frightening to watch, played masterfully by the actor who was the captain of the mine-sweeping boat in ‘Godzilla Minus One’. For over 30 years I have been researching samurai heraldry. A lot of my illustrations on line. I have been able to illustrate the heraldry of most of Hideyoshi’s commanders and allies at Okehazama. A little more difficult in recreating the heraldry of Mitsuhide’s army, as they disappeared after the defeat at Okehazama. I have been able to reconstruct most of the heraldry of both sides at Shizugatake.
👍 You should do more Eastern Roman history next if you can. Like the rediscovery of the Hellenic identity from the 11th century (being knowledgeable in antiquity is a respected part of society) to Constantine Palaiologos saying we're descended from Romans and Hellenes.
"I wonder how this Oda Sanboshi lad would fare in the future..." One cluelessly ponders of a fate fathomably cruel for this promising successive infant heir of the First Unifier
@kuronoch.1441 while loyalty was possibly a factor in their decision to do so, its also probable that they knew it was that, live on the run alone forever (likely not long until they died of exposure) or get caught and face a fate worse than death. Similar to how loyalty in the European knight period. It played a role and for some im sure was the primary motivator but being on the losing side and your lord being killed meant anything the victim wanted to do to you they could and dying "honorably" was better for the person and their family.
Will you be covering other Sengoku era battles apart from Hideyoshi’s post-Honnoji campaigns? Shimazu clan’s campaign pre-1586, especially their victory over the Ryuzojis at Okitanawate may be worth looking into
Kings and Generals, can you do a video about the Pre-Viking history of Denmark? I like to study that part of the History but there is something that it is a little bit confusing. Denmark had kings during the end of the 8th Century and the beggining of the 9th Century, like King Horik I, Gudfred, Harald Klak, Sigfred and Hemming, but for some reason, the first king of Denmark is considered to be Harald Bluetooth, that ruled in the end of the 10th Century. What is the reason for that?
@ChrMuslimThor Acording to Wikipedia, Horik I was the SINGLE ruler of Denmark from 828 to 854. And looks like his kingdom was very organized. He even had diplomatic relations with the Frankish King Louis, the Pious
@@GuilhermeSt050 I'm not an expert, but I know that history is contested and Wikipedia is a battleground for the debate. Any English language history goes by the Saxon chronicles first, then Frankish sources, THEN the written versions of the Norse sagas that were only put together centuries later besides being contradictory. The Saxon sources are ostensibly firsthand and considered primary, but written by people who had no inside view on what was going on in Scandinavia and at least one major writer was a Welsh monk who was doing everything to be accepted by the Saxon and unite the Christians against the Danes. What that comes out to is a list of supposed kings of Denmark, Norway, the Isles and occasionally a few for Sweden that has a lot of holes. The go-to explanation often is that they many were Jarls acting as petty kings, or that the kingship was decentralized and contested frequently. This is how you get Horik, Ragnar Lothbrok, Bacgseg, Bjorn, Harald and others being described as kings over overlapping lands at the same time in different sources.
It's interesting Hideoshi won so many battles and yet he couldn't build a lasting legacy. If the gods wanted to punish the man. This was probably it. Nice video.
He was already too old, and his son did not grow up. That is the problem also ALEXANDER the Great had. You need to have an adult successor, who is also capable, and best of all, that successor should also already have at least a son or sons in the pre-teen range. If you do not have this, your reign and Legacy is very fragile and instable. For example, what made Caesar´s Legacy, was that his adoptive son, Augustus, was already a young man, when he died. His natural son, Caesarion, was still a child. But still, because Augustus was his adopted son, the Legacy of Caesar continued. Caesarion was killed, of course.
In my opinion, Hideyoshi was the most loyal person during the lifetime of Oda Nobunaga, but after the death of his master, he used all his power to weaken the Oda clan and dishonored the Oda Nobunaga family.
Loyal retainers do not remain obedient to their ineffective succeeding clan leaders. Gekokujo upon a unifying regime was inevitable, as supremacy and legitimacy drives once fellow comrades knit together in the chain of command into rival contenders to become military ruler of much of feudal Japan.
Hideyoshi was actually a talented brown-noser, playing cool with everyone and Nobunaga must have seen it but because he was useful he kept him on. Even his assignment to fight the Mori came after he was charged for insubordination and abandonment of his allies by Katsue Shibata, in a critical battle against the titan of the age, Uesugi Kenshin at Tetorigawa; charges that held the death penalty, but instead he was given a pivotal role as a senior retainer of the Oda and granted full command of an entire front. Although his logic of his actions at Tetorigawa was sound, his brown nosing was paying off and he was often rewarded handsomely by Nobunaga. Shibata in my opinion was the most loyal Oda retainer. He never sought power for himself being content with his fiefs in Echizen granted by Nobunaga. His only wish was to maintain the Oda heritage and have Nobunaga be survived by his sons. Shibata having seen the Oda rise from mere retainers during the days of Nobunaga's grandfather and father was well placed to ensure the continuity of his liege clan.
How can you say these when he only fought defensively. All the battles he fought after Nobunaga’s death were declared by his enemies. In my opinion be was loyal and was rewarded by becoming the Regent of the country, putting him in power. If anything it was Tokugawa Ieyasu who plotted and usurped his superiors.
Nobunaga has an undeniable close relationship with the common people of Japan. So much so, that what must've been a rather large crowd of villagers gathered to avenge him. Large enough and motivated enough to defeat a band of veteran samurai.
Noooo way I was just reading about this part from Eiji Yoshikawa's book, Taiko (my Pa bought that book since I was in elementary school), just 'bout few hours ago
The way Katsuie lost suggests that his power was no match against Hideyoshi. Even at such an obvious disadvantage, he did not seek help from other Daimyos outside of Oda's camp....
To be fair the only big daimyo aroun him is uesugi kagekatsu who hate him and oda clan in general (infact kagekatsu probably will have same fate as katsuyori if nobunaga didnt get killed )
So if Oda Nobunaga survived and lived long as the new Shogun, the civil war between his sons will still happened? So if he died of old age instead, will one of his generals and/or daimyo still managed find a way to seize powers for themselves like in this scenario? Or will it just be purely the conflict between his sons alone?
His eldest son would still be alive, so a succession crisis is less likely, and most of his current vassals were somewhat loyal to Nobunaga. That being said, Oda Nobunaga had ambitions to invade Korea and China, and one Tokugawa Ieyasu would take advantage of the decimation of Oda forces that would occur as a result.
Fun Fact: Takayama Ukon renounced his samurai status to devote himself to Christianity and was exiled to Manila, where he lived until his death in 3 or 5 February 1615 in Manila, The Philippines Under Spanish Occupation two months later. His cause for sainthood began after his death and he was declared a Servant of God. Pope Francis beatified him on 21 January 2016; the celebration occurred on 7 February 2017 in Osaka with Cardinal Angelo Amato presiding on the pope's behalf. He was still a Blessed man to this day.
I love this sengoku jidai period. It was one of my most favorite and I am finding that details. KnG thank you as always. We always appreciate your hard work and dedication to make these videos possible. ❤. Huge fan of you and patron member until recently ( I have to discard it cuz of my personal matters. ) from Sri Lanka. ❤❤
It's fascinating to know that Takayama, a man beatified by the Catholic Church and is on his way to full sainthood, participated in the Battle of Yamazaki.
Note: • Hosokawa was, during these conflicts, in Tango, now northern part of Kyoto. • It is also important to note that exiled Ashikaga Shogun Yoshiaki was still in Hiroshima. (Mituhide and Hoshokawa were once coworkers under this shogun) Hideyoshi well controlled this shogun through his ally, Mori clan, to get into throne. • Ieyasu, Nobunaga’s longest ally, didn’t hide his ambition. He invaded Oda clan’s territories and became one of the biggest daimyo soon after Nobunaga’s death. He joined Oda during conflicts between Hideyoshi and Nobunaga’s sons for geopolitical reasons. • It is also crucial that other Oda clan’s executives (ex. Takigawa, Niwa) could not join coalition (between Hideyoshi and Shibata) to decide Nobunaga’s next heir in Kiyosu-kaigi. If they still could hold some power, then Oda clan would have been even more powerful. • There were many daimyo who benefited from Nobunaga’s death because they were almost destined to collapse through Nobunaga’s campaign (ex. Mori, Uesugi, Chosokabe, Shimazu, exiled shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki under Mori clan) Source: 『細川幽斎・忠興のすべて』 2000, p. 95, 宮本義己「細川幽斎・忠興と本能寺の変」 Thank you for your uploads! I always enjoy your videos.
@ It’s Tensho-jingo-no-ran, 天正壬午の乱 in which Ieyasu expanded his territories to nowadays Yamanashi and Nagano. (Takeda => Oda => Tokugawa) The conflict was practically a competition between Tokugawa, Hojo, and Uesugi to gain Oda territories, which ended up as Tokugawa’s victory. In this conflict, Sanada (just one of regional samurai lords; they are later known for Sanada Yukimura and beating Tokugawa army twice) expanded their influence in Northern Nagano by tricking Tokugawa and Hojo. 参照: 天正壬午の乱【増補改訂版】─本能寺の変と東国戦国史 平山優 著 2015年7月刊行
@@bintangyudha4777 Yes, Niwa was present in the meeting but practically didn’t have much influence on other vassals so he had to support Hideyoshi’s idea to choose San-boshi as Nobunaga’s heir. Considering that Niwa was Hideyoshi’s boss in Oda clan and Hideyoshi took a letter from Niwa for his name “Hashiba”, Niwa was still, for sure, influential in Oda clan. But Niwa was more like a rational man who could submit himself to his former subordinate if necessary. (Nobunaga liked such rationality in Niwa, and Niwa was assigned to build Azuchi castle; this castle was so unconventional and designed not as a powerful fortress but more as the symbol of Nobunaga’s power to establish new era of politics. Niwa well understood Nobunaga’s purpose and this would be an example for that)
@dlich6966 He's supposed to make allies before betrayal like Brutus, not after it. If Hideyoshi wasn't came for his head, Shibata or someone else would.
There many reason for his betrayal however we know nobunaga destroy his diplomatic network with chosokabe clan (nobunaga planning invasion on shikoku) second mitsuhide also very consevative (or even reactionary) and probably ashikaga loyalist wich think a lord swaping, moving or reducing his vassal domain is wrong, not to mention nobunaga who didnt have genji blood (and claim to be heike/taira) practically overthrow shougunate while mitsuhide come from genji branch third how nobunaga treat him harsly and lastly there's a rumor nobunaga want put him under a bus And than again many regional daimyo didnt want get katsuyori'ed so they probably secretly push or suppprt mitsuhide only to leave him alone (some daimyo like wakasa branch of takeda clan join mitsuhide but their number is small)
Make one on the Ikko Ikki and the Ishiyama Honganji war. One of the most underrated episodes of the age and almost completely untouched in samurai media
Ohh, the Battle of Yamazaki after Nobunaga's death in 1582, which then Hideyoshi Toyotomi vs. Mitsuhide Akechi occurred, and of course then the Imjin war started lasting about 7 years. Which then Hideyoshi plans failed to unify Ming Dynasty and Joseon Kingdom, But still if Akechi Mitsuhide didn't kill his former lord Nobunaga for the control of Shikoku, then maybe Nobunaga might have unified Western Japan in 1582. Instead, it created a disaster for the succession in the Japan's Edo period.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi usurped the power of the Oda clan in Yamazaki (against Mitsuhide Akechi) and later in Shizugatake (against Shibata Katsuie). He took power for himself after defeating his rivals. He would later completed the unification of Japan and invaded Korea. But of course, it is impossible to say what would happen if Oda Nobunaga lived on to rule Japan.
Where is he getting his sources on any of this??? Not only is the order of battle wrong, the demise of Akechi Mitsuhide presented here is an outdated, false, fictional narrative story-telling of the battle from Edo contemporary sources. It wouldnt make any sense for

The Sengoku period is one of my favourite in all history just because of the shear chaos of the period.
Name checks out
Definitely 😂@@محمدالامريكي-ج9م
Also because of how epic it sounds "Sengoku.... Jidai!"
Me too 😊
Or perhaps you haven't seen other chaotic eras in detail
For those of you looking for the Shogun TV Show parallels, Mitsuhide, to put it simplified, would be the lead character Mariko's father.
yes, Mariko is loosely based on Gracia
Sengoku Jidai and the three kingdoms period are the most brutal periods in chinese and japanese history.
1850-1976 was the most brutal period in Chinese history. The century of revolutions.

Nobunaga thinking is way ahead of his timelines.
Nobunaga burns down a temple, and dies burning in a temple.
Mitsuhide murders his lord, and dies at the hand of peasants.
Sometimes fate loves irony.

So much so, that what must've been a rather large crowd of villagers gathered to avenge him. Large enough and motivated enough to defeat a band of veteran samurai.

• Hosokawa was, during these conflicts, in Tango, now northern part of Kyoto.
• It is also important to note that exiled Ashikaga Shogun Yoshiaki was still in Hiroshima. (Mituhide and Hoshokawa were once coworkers under this shogun) Hideyoshi well controlled this shogun through his ally, Mori clan, to get into throne.
• Ieyasu, Nobunaga’s longest ally, didn’t hide his ambition. He invaded Oda clan’s territories and became one of the biggest daimyo soon after Nobunaga’s death. He joined Oda during conflicts between Hideyoshi and Nobunaga’s sons for geopolitical reasons.
• It is also crucial that other Oda clan’s executives (ex. Takigawa, Niwa) could not join coalition (between Hideyoshi and Shibata) to decide Nobunaga’s next heir in Kiyosu-kaigi. If they still could hold some power, then Oda clan would have been even more powerful.
• There were many daimyo who benefited from Nobunaga’s death because they were almost destined to collapse through Nobunaga’s campaign (ex. Mori, Uesugi, Chosokabe, Shimazu, exiled shogun Ashikaga Yoshiaki under Mori clan)

Thank you for your uploads! I always enjoy your videos.
Can you give me details about Ieyasu's campaign on Oda clan territories after Nobunaga fell? I couldn't find it on the internet
@
It’s Tensho-jingo-no-ran, 天正壬午の乱 in which Ieyasu expanded his territories to nowadays Yamanashi and Nagano. (Takeda => Oda => Tokugawa)
The conflict was practically a competition between Tokugawa, Hojo, and Uesugi to gain Oda territories, which ended up as Tokugawa’s victory. In this conflict, Sanada (just one of regional samurai lords; they are later known for Sanada Yukimura and beating Tokugawa army twice) expanded their influence in Northern Nagano by tricking Tokugawa and Hojo.

@@AForum-dz3eb thank you
Isnt niwa nagahide present at kiyosu and only takigawa kazumasu who isnt present among nobunaga chief vassal ?
@@bintangyudha4777 Yes, Niwa was present in the meeting but practically didn’t have much influence on other vassals so he had to support Hideyoshi’s idea to choose San-boshi as Nobunaga’s heir. Considering that Niwa was Hideyoshi’s boss in Oda clan and Hideyoshi took a letter from Niwa for his name “Hashiba”, Niwa was still, for sure, influential in Oda clan. But Niwa was more like a rational man who could submit himself to his former subordinate if necessary. (Nobunaga liked such rationality in Niwa, and Niwa was assigned to build Azuchi castle; this castle was so unconventional and designed not as a powerful fortress but more as the symbol of Nobunaga’s power to establish new era of politics. Niwa well understood Nobunaga’s purpose and this would be an example for that)
Akechi aka the last TRUE shogun
Considering Mitsuhide's action after betraying his lord, his motivation probably caused by greed or thirst for power
But Mitsuhide also got 'bullied' by Nobunaga in some occasions of his service, if not often. Maybe there were also personal motives involved
@dlich6966 He's supposed to make allies before betrayal like Brutus, not after it. If Hideyoshi wasn't came for his head, Shibata or someone else would.
There many reason for his betrayal however we know nobunaga destroy his diplomatic network with chosokabe clan (nobunaga planning invasion on shikoku) second mitsuhide also very consevative (or even reactionary) and probably ashikaga loyalist wich think a lord swaping, moving or reducing his vassal domain is wrong, not to mention nobunaga who didnt have genji blood (and claim to be heike/taira) practically overthrow shougunate while mitsuhide come from genji branch third how nobunaga treat him harsly and lastly there's a rumor nobunaga want put him under a bus
And than again many regional daimyo didnt want get katsuyori'ed so they probably secretly push or suppprt mitsuhide only to leave him alone (some daimyo like wakasa branch of takeda clan join mitsuhide but their number is small)
Make one on the Ikko Ikki and the Ishiyama Honganji war. One of the most underrated episodes of the age and almost completely untouched in samurai media
Ohh, the Battle of Yamazaki after Nobunaga's death in 1582, which then Hideyoshi Toyotomi vs. Mitsuhide Akechi occurred, and of course then the Imjin war started lasting about 7 years. Which then Hideyoshi plans failed to unify Ming Dynasty and Joseon Kingdom, But still if Akechi Mitsuhide didn't kill his former lord Nobunaga for the control of Shikoku, then maybe Nobunaga might have unified Western Japan in 1582. Instead, it created a disaster for the succession in the Japan's Edo period.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi usurped the power of the Oda clan in Yamazaki (against Mitsuhide Akechi) and later in Shizugatake (against Shibata Katsuie). He took power for himself after defeating his rivals. He would later completed the unification of Japan and invaded Korea. But of course, it is impossible to say what would happen if Oda Nobunaga lived on to rule Japan.
Not me playing another Shogun 2 campaign while watching this
Seppuku?
Not harakiri?

Thanks!
この動画では山崎の戦いの地図を完全に間違っているぞ。あなたが円明寺川と表記しているのは淀川だ。戦場の場所も部隊の配置も全く違う。
光秀軍は北東から、秀吉軍は南西から進軍している。
この動画で秀吉軍が位置しているのは大山崎の集落だが、光秀軍が位置しているのは八幡市と石清水八幡宮だろう。
動画を作り直したほうがいい。
What a coincedence I was just watching the Extra history's sengoku jidai documentary

Oukey
Series on Mughal Empire when?
The Graphics are unconfortable to look at if not at least 1080p
So many mistakes have been made (e.g. 3:01 FUJITAKA's location) that I have to dislike this video.
Where is he getting his sources on any of this???
Not only is the order of battle wrong, the demise of Akechi Mitsuhide presented here is an outdated, false, fictional narrative story-telling of the battle from Edo contemporary sources.
It wouldnt make any sense for
You really need to improve your animation. You telling me the gunners shot from behind their own line? What is this Warhammer fantasy?
