shia Muslims call their leader Imam. and Imam is Caliph at the same time. Shia believes Caliphet position is granted by God and not by people. but Imam only when can make government that have enough support from people and if not have enough support remains only as spiritual leader until find enough support.
shia and sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. today there is up to 260 sect in Islam that are in two category of shia and sunni.
shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.
shia believe after death of prophet God selects the successive for prophet who is the leader of Muslim community and people can not select it.
shia believe the Caliph (Representative of God in earth after prophet) is appointed only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." (Quran 2:30)
this means only God can select an Islamic leader.
in shia they are only fourteen infallible (12 Imams and prophet and his daughter Fatimah Zahra (sa))
and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (this knowledge is from God and by permission of God and is not absolute knowledge. absolute knowledge is only for God and they still do not know many things. but they know anything human may need to know.) and they never die and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human.
and shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.
shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph valid because God did not select him. they believe God ordered prophet to declare Ali is selected as successor of prophet (Quran 5:3) and prophet did this mission in Ghadir event that was in last Hajj of prophet in his life and prophet did a speech for 120,000 Muslims participating that Hajj with prophet. the famous shia book Al-Ghadir is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Hadith from 100,000 sunni references and read all of 10,000 sunny books. one sunni scholar said if we want to reply Al-Ghadir book (by Allameh Amini) we should first destroy all our books.

Why did the eperpor give the leader od minsmoto family the title of shogun?
The emperor granted the title of shogun to the leader of the Minamoto family, primarily to consolidate power and establish a military government, known as the shogunate. This move was a response to ongoing conflicts and the need for effective governance and military leadership during a time of instability in Japan. By bestowing this title, the emperor aimed to legitimize the Minamoto's authority while retaining his own symbolic power. This relationship marked the beginning of a new era in Japanese history, where the shogunate held significant control over the military and political landscape.
