During Philip II's reign in Spain (1556-1598), society was primarily divided into three main social classes: the nobility, the clergy, and the common people (peasants and urban workers). The nobility held significant power and wealth, often enjoying privileges and titles. The clergy, both higher and lower ranks, played a crucial role in governance and education, closely tied to the monarchy. The common people, which included farmers, laborers, and merchants, formed the largest class and faced various hardships, including heavy taxation and limited rights.

During the reign of Philip II, Spain was involved in numerous conflicts, including wars against England, France, and the Ottoman Empire. However, Spain was not in conflict with the Holy Roman Empire, as it was closely allied with it during this period. Instead, Philip II sought to strengthen ties with the Empire to consolidate his power in Europe.

In King Philip II's Spain, the emerging bourgeoisie, or middle class, was largely absent in the traditional social hierarchy dominated by the nobility and the clergy. While the economy was reliant on agriculture and resources from the colonies, there was limited opportunity for a substantial middle class to develop. This lack of a strong bourgeoisie contributed to social stagnation and hindered economic innovation during his reign. The focus remained on maintaining the status quo rather than fostering new social dynamics.
During Prince Shotoku's reign in the early 7th century, Japanese society was structured around a hierarchical system influenced by Chinese Confucian principles. The emperor was at the top, supported by a court of aristocrats and nobles. Below them were various classes, including skilled artisans, farmers, and laborers, with a significant emphasis on loyalty and social order. This period also saw the introduction of Buddhism and the codification of laws, which further shaped social structures and governance.
