One key difference between feudal Europe and feudal Japan lies in their social hierarchies and roles within the class structure. In Europe, the feudal system was characterized by a rigid class structure with kings, nobles, knights, and peasants, while in Japan, the system was more focused on the samurai warrior class, who held significant power and loyalty to their daimyo (feudal lords). Additionally, the cultural and religious influences, such as the prominence of Christianity in Europe versus Shinto and Buddhism in Japan, shaped their respective societies and governance.
