Tokugawa Ieyasu, through years of war and political maneuvering, eventually was able to get the emperor to make him Shogun of Japan sometime just after 1600. This was a shogunate that lasted from 1600 to 1868 (the year it officially ended), and was the actual ruling office of the country, as the emperor was just a figurehead.
