Never miss an opportunity to say "Nobunaga's ambition"

I would love a more detailed video on some of these conflicts like the Onin War or the Sengoku Jidai, but an overview of all of them is also very cool

"Nobunaga's Ambition". I was hoping you would drop that. This is why I love you guys!

FYI : The Tokugawa family is still here, but the current leader Iehiro Tokugawa (59 yrs old) is still here but he doesn't has a son/daughter but he can adopt someone in the Tokugawa to take his place Like he used to be the grandson of the Tokugawa leader and adopted by his grandfather as his "son" ( Funny his dad has to call him "brother")

Just wanted to let you know of an error in the video if you wanted to correct it: Commodore Perry is shown with an English flag instead of an American one.

Have to mention that Ashikaga Takauji and Tadayoshi did not actively want to fight Go-daigo directly, in fact, the two wanted continued to negotiate with Yoshino court even after Go-daigo died in 1339 to make peace with the Southern Court with Takauji temporarily taking the side of the Southern Court which was the Shohei unification, a short lived termination of the Ashikaga Bakufu with Takauji no longer Seii-taishogun in 1352, even if, he was shogun from 1338-58 when looking at the period officially. That was in all likelihood a political maneuver to end the war with his brother, my favorite part of the period being the Kanno Disturbance. Now, going back to the Nakasendai war in 1335, Tokiyuki was a 10 year old child so the intent behind the war was use to him as a banner to gather the remaining Hojo forces in the Kanto to take it back mainly pushed by the Suwa clan , only reason why Takauji even fought back was because Yoshisada was converging on the Kanto along with Akiie from Mutsu, but Takauji wasn't of the same footing as those two until he was approached by Kogon-in and given the imperial decree at the recommendation of Harimas own Akamatsu Enshin, only then did more warrior's actively make their side known since Ashikaga was fighting for the Retired emperor now and the opposition to the Jimyo-in line, making it so that his actions were legitimate and not that of a rebel even if he did technically rebel against Go-daigo, the current Emperor, and his administration. If anything, momentum changed after Takauji had gained significant support in Kyushu with only the Kikuchi showing any real animosity to the Ashikaga since they were Pro-Southren Court but families like Shimazu, Shoni, Otomo, etc... supported him and fought with him once Ashikaga made their way back onto Honshu, took Kyoto, sought to negotiate with Go-daigo, but that didn't go far since he refused the terms to have Go-Murakami be next in line amongst other conditions.

Omg Thank You so much!!! I am no longer free this afternoon lol! Been hoping for this for sometime was hoping for some cameos from charles nove but this is absolutely beautiful 😄💚🖤

Thanks for a great and thorough video!

Will we have a series on the last years of the shogunate and imperial Japan, covering the boshin war and the satsuma rebellion ?

Very informative and very well done!

I was skeptical you would be able to cover the history of the shogun, but Im impressed. Great introduction to it.

Really enjoying this Japan content, thank you!

This content is absolutely fantastic. Kudos to the creators!

Great vid! Thanks!

Thanks for the good video 👍🏻

Kings and Generals- this is a great channel!

Great stuff! It actually clarifies the shogunate period. I didn't know there was only three of such periods. I wish you'll cover the Genpei and Boshin wars eventually, because these are very interesting and history-changing wars.

thank you this is so interesting to me
