| Battle of Sekigahara - Tokugawa Shogunate of Japan |
|
The Battle of Sekigahara was a decisive battle on September 15, 1600 (on
the ancient Chinese calendar, October 21 on the modern calendar) that
cleared the path to the Shogunate for Tokugawa Ieyasu and his descendants.
Though it would take three more years for Ieyasu to consolidate his position
of power over the daimyo, Sekigahara is widely considered to be the
unofficial beginning of the Tokugawa Bakufu, the final Shogunate to control
Japan. |
