Answer 1

The Tokugawa shogunate, also known as the Tokugawa bakufu (徳川幕府?) and the Edo bakufu (江戸幕府 ), was the last feudal Japanese military government which existed between 1600 and 1868.

Answer 2

The Tokugawa Shogunate was a feudal military dictatorship in Japan that lasted for almost three hundred years, from 1603 to 1868. The period in Japanese history in which the Tokugawa Shogunate held power is called the Edo period, after the capital of Japan during the Shogunate. The Tokugawa Shogunate marks the period in Japanese history when the caste system was most rigid, leading eventually to social unrest, culminating in an overthrow of the Shogunate and the installation of Emperor Meiji.




The Tokugawa family rose to power in 1603, after a period of warring states and political intrigue destabilized Japan. The family ruled from Edo castle and based its source of power on a very rigid social hierarchy with minimal mobility between classes. The warrior samurai held the most power, followed by farmers, artisans, and traders. Land was controlled by daimyo, or feudal lords, who collected taxes and military service from their peasant vassals. This ultimately contributed to the collapse of the Tokugawa Shogunate, because most taxes were fixed and did not take inflation into account, leading to poverty and bitter battles among the ruling classes.
