Japan's Tokugawa (or Edo) period, which lasted from 1603 to 1867, would be the final era of traditional Japanese government, culture and society before the Meiji Restoration of 1868 toppled the long-reigning Tokugawa shoguns and propelled the country into the modern era.
What led to the downfall of the Tokugawa shogunate?
Tokugawa society placed great importance on obedience to authority. The individual was controlled by the state, the community and the family. The forced opening of Japan following US Commodore Matthew Perry's arrival in 1853 undoubtedly contributed to the collapse of the Tokugawa rule.
Who defeated the Tokugawa?
Ieyasu led 5,000 of his men to support Nobunaga at the battle. The Battle of Anegawa occurred near Lake Biwa in ÅŒmi Province, Japan. The allied forces of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated the combined forces of the Azai clans and Asakura clans, and saw Nobunaga's prodigious use of firearms.
