The Edo Shogunate (1 févr. 1603 – 1 janv. 1868)
Description:
The Edo Shogunate dominated Japan for more than 250 years. It was effectively a military dictatorship, which governed Japan using a strict feudal and class system. During this time, the Emperor was essentially a puppet figure, having virtually no real power. The Shogunate greatly isolated Japan from the world in a period known as the “Sakoku”, greatly limiting foreign trade. Moreover, during this time, very few foreigners were allowed to enter the country, and no Japanese were allowed to leave it.Ajouté au bande de temps:
