Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu are known as the three great unifiers of Japan because they played pivotal roles in ending the centuries of civil war during the Sengoku period. Oda Nobunaga initiated the process by consolidating power and defeating rival clans, while Hideyoshi completed the unification and established a centralized government. Ieyasu solidified this unity through the establishment of the Tokugawa shogunate, which brought stability and peace to Japan for over 250 years. Their combined efforts transformed Japan into a unified nation and laid the groundwork for its future development.
The three great unifiers of Japan were; Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi & Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu.
Ieyasu defeated his rivals at the battle of Sekigahara in 1600. The victory earned him the loyalty of daimyo throughout Japan. He later became the sole shogun and moved the capital, unifing Japan.
The process of unification in Japan began with Oda Nobunaga. Once he was assisinated by his vassal, Akechi Mitsuhide, Toyotomi Hideyoshi came to power and began a process of consolidation. The unification was complete after Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the last Toyotomi loyalists at the Battle of Osaka (1614 & 1615).
Oda Nobunaga was a Japanese Daimyo who is most famous for being the first of the "Three Great Unifiers" of Japan. (The other 2 being Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu, respectively.)
The three unifiers of Japan—Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu—played pivotal roles in the country's transition from warring states to a unified state in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Oda Nobunaga initiated the process by defeating rival daimyos and establishing control over central Japan. Toyotomi Hideyoshi continued this work, consolidating power and implementing social and economic reforms, such as the land survey and the sword hunt. Finally, Tokugawa Ieyasu completed the unification and established the Tokugawa shogunate, which brought about over 250 years of relative peace and stability known as the Edo period.
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
first he finished japans unification, and then he finished off their enemies in the 1600's. He also gave the Daimyos their land, to make sure the Daimyos stayed true to him he made a system called sankin-kotai.
Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Nobunaga Oda got the ball rolling, but the main player in the unification of Japan was Ieyasu Tokugawa. Ieyasu Tokugawa was invested as Shogun on the 2nd of December, 1603, following the Battle of Sekigahara during which all remaining opposition was crushed.
The many clans on the islands were at last brought together as one country by Nobunaga Oda, Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
