The Ashikaga shogunate, which ruled from the 14th to the 16th centuries, led to a divided Japan primarily due to internal power struggles and the weakening of central authority. The shogunate's reliance on regional daimyos allowed these feudal lords to gain significant power, leading to conflicts and rivalries among them. This fragmentation culminated in the Sengoku period, where constant warfare and shifting alliances further divided the country, undermining the shogunate's control and stability. Ultimately, this era of division set the stage for the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate, which sought to unify Japan.
I think it was Tokugawa shogunate. It was Tokugawa Ieyasu.....if that's how you spell it it might have been Oda Nobunaga, Toyotmi Hideyoshi, or Tokugwa Ieyasu
In 1853 Perry forced Japanese shogunate its ports for Western markets and thus ending the long lasting isolation (since Tokugawa Ieyatsu became the Shogun ending the Sengoku Jidai period - 1600). This lead to a huge dissatisfaction between both Japanese population and damiyo's (nobles) opposing Tokugawa rule. Those forces rallied behind the figure of Emperor (later known as Meiji) who had until this point no real power. The Emperor's forces won the war and restored the Emperor's power (Meiji restoration - 1867) thus ending the rule of Shogunate. Emperor enacted large reforms which made from feudal Japan a powerful empire in matter of decades.
To lead Japan.
In the 800s, Japan experienced a significant shift in power from the imperial court to the emerging influence of the samurai class and regional warlords, known as daimyo. This transition was marked by the decline of the central authority of the Heian court, as local aristocrats and military leaders began to assert control over their territories. The period also saw the rise of the shogunate system, which would eventually lead to feudalism in Japan. This shift laid the groundwork for the political landscape of Japan in the centuries to follow.
