There have been three Bakufu, or Shogunates, in Japanese history. Each with its own history, including an apex and a downfall.

The Kamakura Bakufu was established in 1192 by Minamoto Yoritomo. The decline of Shogunal power began with the establishment of the Hojo Shikken. These men were regents who wrested real power away from the shogun. The Nambokucho Wars officially brought an end to the Bakufu during the mid-14th century.

The Muromachi, or Ashikaga, Bakufu was established by Ashikaga Takauji in 1338. This brought about the Nambokucho wars. The Ahsikaga Bakufu's power began to wane with the onset of the Onin War in 1467. This ushered in the Sengoku Period of Japanese history. The Muromachi Bakufu officially ended in 1573, when Oda Nobunaga drove Ashikaga Yoshiaki from Kyoto. This brought about the Azuchi-Momoyama Period.

The Tokugawa, or Edo, Bakufu was established by Tokugawa Ieyasu in 1603. The Shogunate really gained supreme control of Japan after the Siege of Osaka in 1615-1616. This effectively eliminated all opposition to the Tokugawa. The Tokugawa Bakufu came to an end after the Meiji Restoration in 1868-1869.
