Fighting has broken out between two sides of the Hatakeyama family on who should be the heir after Hatakeyama Mochikuni. Mochikuni had originally adopted his nephew Hatakeyama Masanaga as his heir, when his biological son Yoshinari was born shifted Mochikuni changed his mind. This widened a split in the Hatakeyama family that was caused by the division of land of Akamatsu Mitsusuke's land.The resulting conflict was made worse by the fact that the Hatakeyama are one of three noble families that have the right to be the Kanrei of Yamashiro, the Hosokawa and the Shiba being the other two, and therefore wield considerable power as the highest officials in the Bakufu. The fighting has been been made worse by the involvement of the two other major families in Nippon, the Yamana and the Hosokawa. Both the Yamana and the Hosokawa have asked for permission to chastise the other clan for the involvement. Committing the Bakufu to one side is likely to tip the balance of power in the country and force a reaction from the other side.Actions

Unable or unwilling to cope with keeping the Shougnate from deterorating faster he instead decided after a few attempts to devote himself and thus the Kyoto court to the realm of the arts and pleasure.In 1458 he started constuction of a new and vastly more lavish palace for the Emperor. This was by far his most expensive project. Even during the famine of 1461 he forced the populace to continue construction until he was chastised by the Emperor in a satyrical poem.

This put Yoshimi in an awkward position, though he remained as heir apparant to Yoshimasa. This infuriated Tomi-ko and and she sought the support of Yamana Sozen who envied Hosokawa and had been looking for some time for a legitimate reason to attack Hosokawa. By the end of 1466 Hosokawa and Yamana have massed their troops surrounding Kyoto.Actions

In 1467 both Hosokawa and Yamana had brought their troops to Kyoto. Hoping to have free reign to attack Hosokawa, Yamana complained to Yoshimasa that Hosokawa had interfered in Hatakeyama succession, something Yamana did too. To Yamana's infuriation Hosokawa was merely reprimanded. That evening Yamana moved against Hosokawa by conducting Yoshimi to the Bakufu headquarters and began preparations to defend it. Seeing this, Hosokawaw also mobilized his troops into a defensive position within the city.Yoshimasa realized what a battle in Kyoto would mean and in an attempt to forestall the bloodshed within Kyoto he forebade them from interfering in the Hatakeyama succession as well as that whichever side attacked first would be branded a rebel. Even as powerless as the Ashikaga shogunate was, this threat was large enough to scare the men from attacking immediatly as being branded a rebel would alinate his allies and give cause for anyone to attack and freely cofiscate his lands without punishment.

Description
While neither side wanted to be branded a rebel, both Yamana and Hosokawa maintained their positions. Flurries of letters and strengthening of battlements went on throughout spring. Finally in May of 1467 Hosokawa attacked the mansion of one of Yamana's generals, Isshiki. Even though Yoshimasa had earlier declared whoever started the fighting would be branded a rebel, Yamana was branded as one likely because of major contributions by Hosokawa. Fighting continued for several days and many buildings were destroyed in the process and fires spread. This however was only a prelude of what was to come for within less than half a year over 90 percent of Kyoto was destroyed.'The flowery capital that we thought would last forever to our surprise is to become the lair of wolves and foxes. In the past their have been rebellions and disasters, but in the first year of the Onin war the laws of gods and Kings are broken and all the sects are perishing.' - Bakufu official, after the war

After bouncing around for many years, Ashikaga Yoshimi finally ended up as one of Yamana's top generals in 1469. This allowed the Ashikaga Yoshimasa to petition the Emperor to strip him of all his court titles and name him a rebel. In addition this also left him the ability to name his 4-year-old son of Tomi-ko, Yoshihisa, as heir. Thus the Onin War went from being a war of political manuvering between Yamana and Hosokawa to a war for the succession of the throne.Actions

By the middle of 16th century, Hojo clan steadily extended power over central Kanto while other local lords wasted time on their disputes. Having just realized the fact, almost all lords in Kanto joined together against Hojo. In 1545, 70,000 allied troops besieged Kawagoe Castle which was a Hojo's strategic stronghold in central Kanto. In response, Hojo's generals worked out a surprise attack plan. On the night of 19 May 1546, 8,000 soldiers assaulted the besieging army. The attack was so unexpected that the allied force had to be collapsed once and for all. There were few casualties on Hojo side while 13,000 allied soldiers were killed in action. As a result, the alliance had to dissolve while Hojo ensured future hegemony in Kanto.Also, Uesugi Norimasa, the head of a defeated clan which was once prominent in the region, was forced to take refuge with Nagao clan which was a branch of him in Echigo. In 1561, he ceded his title of 'Kanto Kanrei' or Shogun's Deputy of Kanto and his family name to Nagao Kagetora, the clan's head. Later he became well known as Uesugi Kenshin.

Portuguese traders first reached Japan in 1543 and eventually became important middlemen in the silk trade between China and Japan, operating out of Macao. In 1549, Francis Xavier, a member of the Jesuit order and future saint, arrived in Japan and began making converts to Christianity. This resulted in the establishment of a Jesuit mission in Japan, which proved invaluable as an intermediary for the Portuguese merchants and which also was successful in converting substantial numbers of Japanese commoners and Daimyo, reaching about 150,000 converts by 1587. The merchants also brought with them improved firearms that were soon adopted by the Japanese.Actions

Then, he gradually extended power over the surrounding area while he approached the shogunate to get vindication of it. In 1559, He was appointed to 'Kyushu Tandai' or Shogun's Deputy in Kyushu. Even if it was in name only, it legitimized his rule over almost all of northern Kyushu at that time.Actions

Description
This is the most famous, successful surprise attack in Japan, which was fought on 12 June 1560. Imagawa Yoshimoto, who based on Suruga (Today's eastern Shizuoka), focused on westward since he allied with northern Takeda and eastern Hojo clan in 1554. Also, he was the most powerful daimyo in the region while Oda clan was minor one which had just managed to pacify family infighting. Thus, no one doubted Imagawa's victory when he advanced on the west with 10,000-25,000 soldiers in 1560. However, on hearing about the enemy troops rested throughout a narrow valley near Okehazama, Oda Nobunaga decided to make a sortie with only 2,500 soldiers, rejecting common reactions like taking a strategy of exhaustion or making a humiliating peace. Arriving at the head of the valley, he ordered to assault just the heart of enemy's headquarters. This attack achieved stunning success: He succeeded to kill Imagawa Yoshimoto himself and miraculously won the battle! As a result, the situation completely reversed and Oda began to expand rapidly his influence. Another important effect was about Tokugawa Ieyasu, who based on Mikawa (today's eastern Aichi). He became independent from Imagawa, and then allied with Oda.Actions

The Ashikaga Shogunate was completely under the thumb of the Miyoshi Clan who had taken over as the real force in Kansai. The Shogun Ashikaga Yoshiteru was not satisfied with the situation and therefore attempted to break out and reaffirm the Shogunate's authority. He was therefore attacked in his castle on the orders of Miyoshi Chokei. Yoshiteru's style of defending himself was very distinctive. He prepared to fight by sticking swords into the floor. They were then used to replace the swords he broke during combat. Yoshiteru was eventually overcome and forced to commit suicide.Actions

When Amago Haruhisa, a capable family head of Amago, died in 1560, Mori decided to seize the opportunity to abolish them once and for all. Finally in 1566, Mori managed to capture enemy's stronghold in Iwami (today's Shimane) and force Amago into submission and united the whole Chugoku region. After that, Mori attempted to conquer northern Kyushu which once Ouchi had ruled over, but it ended up without good result.Actions

However, Yoshiaki began to challenge Oda's authority because he felt frustration with his position. Finally in 1570, he openly called for anti-Oda faction to unite for his cause. Responding to his call, many lords including former allies of Oda organized the alliance against him. On the verge of a great victory, Oda found himself in a difficult situation.Actions

Japanese 'Ikki' meant not only just an uprising but also a league or bond among a certain social classes. During the Sengoku Period, farmers and local feudal lords often formed such Ikki to defend what they thought of as their rights. Sometimes they went so far as to expel their helpless lord and to achieve self-governance. Among these Ikki, 'Ikko-ikki' or Single-minded Leagues which gathered around Ikko sect, a popular militant Buddhist order centered on Hongan-ji temple much annoyed almost all daimyos because of its fearless fighting style and good organizational skills.In 1570, an Ikko-ikki rose a revolt against Oda in Ise-Nagashima (today's northern Mie). Cooperating with some clans which had been expelled from its domain by Oda, they made a strong stand against Oda's invasion and governed themselves until finally Oda managed to exterminate them without mercy in 1574.

Historically Shimazu managed to defeat Otomo and his 30,000-40,000 men then ensured the unification of the whole region. However, if the result had been contrary, what kind of situation would have become? Otomo Sorin, the clan's head, had been attracted to Catholicism since the 1550s so deeply that he was christened as Don Francisco just before the battle. He hoped to create the Kingdom of Heaven in the region...Actions

Ikko sect was among the most powerful militant Buddhist order during this period. In 1570, they began anti-Oda action all at once and plagued the Oda-dominated region with constant social unrests, responding to their hierarch's call. To eliminate this instability factor, Oda Nobunaga attempted to capture their main stronghold, Ishiyama-Hongan-ji, a fortified temple which located in Settsu (today's Osaka). Though the conflict evolved into a war of attrition which continued until 1580, finally Hongan-ji had to seek peace after Oda succeeded to cut their maritime supply lines. Soon after the humiliating peace, Ikko sect split into two factions and rapidly declined. It also brought about a drastic fall in the frequency of religious revolts across the country.Actions

In 1582, three Christian daimyos (Arima, Omura, and Otomo) in the Kyushu region were persuaded to send Japanese Christian teenagers to Europe by Jesuit Alessandro Valignano. The first purpose of it was to get support to their mission from European countries, the second was to bring up capable Japanese priests. They chose four excellent noblemen called Ito Mancio, Chijiwa Miguel, Nakaura Julian and Hara Martino for the envoy, called Tensho Embassy or Tensho Boys Mission from the era name. Arriving at Lisbon in 1584, they visited the cities including Madrid, Rome, Venice, Verona, and Milan. They were welcomed by European authorities among them were Felipe II of Spain and Francesco I of Tuscany. In addition, they became the first Japanese who were gave an audience with Pope, Gregory XIII. They also attended at the coronation of Pope Sixtus V of 1585. Returning to Japan, they met with Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1591. Although they were ordained as the first Japanese priests in 1608 (except Miguel who converted back in 1601), they couldn't accomplish their goal as Japan turned into anti-Christian policies. Martino left some influential works including the Japanese translation of 'Imitatio Christi' but he was expelled from the country and died in Macao in 1629. Julian became a martyr in Nagasaki in 1633 (374 years after that, Pope Benedict XVI did beatification of him in 2007). In a large sense, their most important exploit was publishing of printed Japanese books for the first time by using letterpress printing machines which they had brought back from Europe. Today, these books in existence are regarded as valuable historical materials for linguistic research.Actions

Since becoming Oda's virtual successor in 1582, Toyotomi Hideyoshi had steadily gotten rid of remaining rivals. In the spring of 1590, he decided to eliminate the Hojo clan, which ruled over whole Kanto and was the final roadblock to unifying Japan, after the matter couldn't be resolved peacefully. Because of Toyotomi's overwhelming force, Hojo clan entrenched in Odawara Castle, the most impregnable fortress in Japan at that time. However, Toyotomi was able to prepare more than enough troops and supplies while Hojo failed to gain any reinforcement from outside, Hojo thereby had no choice but to surrender on 5 July 1590.Also, Toyotomi seized the opportunity to subject all daimyos in Tohoku including powerful Date clan. Prior to the battle, Toyotomi required support of them and to accept it essentially meant obedience. They could have ignored it under false pretenses or allied with Hojo to resist Toyotomi, but eventually they all decided to accept humiliating submission. As a result, Toyotomi accomplished reunification of Japan.

Description
Having eliminated the last resistance to his rule in Japan, Toyotomi Hideyoshi then turned his attention to conquering Korea, which he planned to use as a springboard for invading China. The Japanese mounted two invasions in 1592 and 1597, but both failed, largely as a result of the efforts of the Korean Admiral Yi. However, the war did result in the deaths of many Japanese samurai and Daimyo who might otherwise have troubled the new regime.Actions

Description
Japan is thought to attempt to invade of Luzon at least three times during 16-17th centuries: Toyotomi Hideyoshi is the possible first person to conceive of it next to Korea, alarmed at European activities from the late 1580s. But the plan ended up with his death in 1598. The second was Matsukura Shigemasa, a minor daimyo of the Shimabara domain in Kyushu. He oppressed Christianity so intensely that he prepared to conquer Luzon which was believed that missionaries made their base. He also desired to dominate profitable trade on there. To set the plan into action, he burdened his subjects heavily, bribed high officials, and even dispatched reconnaissance officers in 1630. However, his ambition went into the dumper with his sudden death shortly after the dispatch. Some have advocated he was poisoned by officials of the shogunate who resented to be involved in any overseas troubles or exposed their corruption. The last was the shogunate itself in the 1630s. It suffered on both masterless samurais and persistent missionaries so that another expedition emerged as a practical option. But the Shimabara rebellion in 1637 forced the shogunate to concentrate on domestic issues and to abandon the plan for good.Now that we have achieved supremacy over the expanded realm, some militants press to carry the plan into effect while others question about the cost-effectiveness of it. What should we do?

Description
Naya Sukezaemon (1565-?), known as Luzon Sukezaemon, was a Japanese merchant adventurer. He made a large profit from trade between Luzon and Japan in the late 16th century. In 1594, he made Toyotomi Hideyoshi a lot of tribute of imported goods to win his favorite. However, in 1598, he closed to be forfeited his property because of his rather luxurious lifestyle (some claims it was because of the outrage of Hideyoshi who knew that the gifted porcelains were valueless mass-production items made in Luzon). The quick-eyed trader fled to Manila to continue his dealing. Around 1607, with the beginning of Spanish interfere in the Philippines, he emigrated to Cambodia where he managed to win the king's favor.Actions

In 1600, a wrecked Dutch commercial vessel arrived in eastern Kyushu. 24 survivors were rescued, among them were William Adams who is regarded as the first English visitor to Japan and Jan Joosten van Loodensteijn known as simply Jan Joosten, a Dutch navigator. Portuguese Jesuits who had been taking into confidence of the government insisted to execute the crews as pirates because they wanted to keep Protestants away from Japan. However, Tokugawa Ieyasu accepted them as advisors for foreign affairs because of his much interest in the international situation. They contributed to the development of relations with Netherlands and England, thereby weakening the influence of Spain and Portugal. Adams also supervised building of several western-style ships. He was rewarded with estate in the Miura Peninsula and he came to call himself Miura Anjin (the pilots of Miura) as a samurai. He lived in Japan until his death in 1620. Jan Joosten was also granted a house in Edo. The area came to be called 'Yayosu' which derived from Japanese pronunciation of his name and the place-name still exists as 'Yaesu', the east side of the Tokyo Station today. He sunk on his way to Indonesia in 1623.Actions

Eventually he eliminated all opponents and the Emperor appointed him to the shogun, following which he officially established his feudal government, the Tokugawa Shogunate in Edo. To promise a stable regime to his descendants, Ieyasu attempted to construct a more centralized system than the Muromachi Shogunate, in which local daimyos were kept exhausting with forcing public works, alternate-year residence in Edo and so on.Actions

Description
After Japanese invasions of Korea, it had been stalemate in their relations for a while. However, the new shogunate of Japan had been very interested in foreign trade while Korea had been threatened by expanding Manchus of the north. In addition, the daimyo of Tsushima islands which located in the middle of the strait had been very eager to resume their profitable intermediate trade. Thus, their interests ran together and they began to seek to restore relations with each other. Historically, Korea sent an envoy to Japan to restore their relations officially in 1607. They would become to exchange emissaries on suitable occasions following two centuries as they used to do during the Muromachi period. A Japanese trading post was also built at Pusan which became to be prospered as one of the few ports that Japanese merchants could carry on overseas trade: They primarily traded Japanese silver, gold, and sulfur and imports from South-east Asia for Chinese high quality silk and cloths at there.Actions

The Ryukyu Kingdom (1429-1879) had ruled over the Ryukyu Islands stretching southwest from Kyushu to Taiwan. By the end of 16th century, this once-thriving kingdom on its trade with South-East Asia had declined because of losing ground to Chinese and European competitors. The shogunate attempted to exploit the opportunity to submit it. After negotiations broke down, the shogun permitted the daimyo of the Satsuma domain (the southernmost part of Kyushu) to conquer the kingdom. On March 1609, 3,000 troops with 100 ships of the Satsuma domain started to invade the country. Soon after, the king was forced to accept the domain as the suzerain. The Satsuma domain would make a large profit from the monopoly on intermediate trade between the kingdom and China until the abolishment of the closure policy.Actions

Date Masamune, a powerful daimyo in the Tohoku region, planned to send a mission to establish friendly relations with European countries (some people advocates that he attempted to make an alliance with Spain to overthrow the shogunate). He got the permission to do it from the shogunate and appointed his vassal Hasekura Tsunenaga as the ambassador with around 180 followers. The mission, called Keicho Embassy from the era name, set sailed from Ishinomaki on 15 September 1613. Their Japanese-built galleon visited via Mexico to Spain where Tsunenaga met Felipe III of Spain to ask him a trade agreement in 1615. They stayed on the town of Coria del Rio near Sevilla for a few months, and even today there are a few hundreds of residents using the surname 'Japon', considered as their descendants. The same year, Tsunenaga managed to be received in audience by Pope Paulus V in Rome. However, he wasn't able to conclude any agreement with them because of the shift in the shogunate's policy. At that time, Japan was moving toward to the closed-door policy and increasing oppression against Christianity. Tsunenaga returned to Japan via Luzon after his seven years fruitless trip and died in 1622. Although he was the first Japanese official ambassador to the Americas and Rome (and arguably Europe), his achievements were ignored until 19th century.Actions

By 1614, Tokugawa Ieyasu had effectively gained control of Japan even though rule had been meant to pass to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son, Hideyori, when Hideyori reached adulthood. A series of mounting conflicts with the Portuguese, the possibility of trading with the Dutch, and alarm at the spread of Christianity in the Land of the Gods resulted in an Edict of Expulsion for the Jesuit missionaries. The Tokugawa regime then began persecuting the estimated 300,000 Japanese Christians using torture and execution as their primary instruments. This eventually helped to prompt the Shimabara peasant rebellion in Kyushu in 1638 in which about 30,000 overtaxed peasants rebelled, but were eventually massacred. If the Tokugawa regime had instead extended toleration to Christianity, then in Kyushu Catholicism may have eventually emerged as the dominant religion.Actions

Even after the formation of the new regime, Toyotomi clan was among the most powerful factions in Japan. The shogunate persisted to try to submit it peacefully without success. Eventually, the clan entrenched Osaka Castle, the headquarters of it, and called for potential anti-shogunate powers across the country to be engaged in the coming battle. The decisive siege battle was fought in 1614-15 with four months suspension, between the shogunate force with 155,000-194,000 men and the clan with 55,000-96,000 men. The shogunate managed to win it, called Siege of Osaka, and abolished the clan. With this victory, the shogunate truly accomplished the reunification of the country under its banner.Actions

Since the 1610s, Japan had been more cautious about foreigner especially Catholic missionaries who would bring unstable factors into the realm. Helped by the decrease of demands for foreign arms with the end of the war-torn era, the shogunate determined to restrict ports for trade with European to two (Nagasaki and Hirado) in 1616. Following that English merchants withdrew from Japan by 1623, losing out to Dutch competitors. The shogunate also interrupted relations with Spain in 1624, resenting to its religious tendencies.

Description
This edict is regarded as a prime example of the Japanese desire for seclusion: As more high officials of the shogunate had begun to focus to consolidate their regime, they had become to resent being involved in foreign affairs. This change was accelerated by the incident in 1628 in which a Spanish warship destroyed a Japanese Red Seal Ship in Ayutthaya. The shogunate determined to strengthen the isolationist policy, considering that such an accident caused by free trade would escalate into an unwilling international war. The Sakoku edict of 1635 was issued as the third of a series from 1623 to 1651, following the abolishment of the Red Seal Ship trade system in 1633. With the edict, the Japanese were to be prohibited completely from leaving and returning their country, Catholicism was strictly forbidden, and foreign trade was restricted as to set limit the ports open to trade (Nagasaki, Tsushima, Ryukyu, and Ezochi).Actions

Action C of 3879 - Tokugawa's Edict of Expulsion for Japan
Description
Shimabara domain in Kyushu had been misruled in 1620-30s under Matsukura family. They levied heavy duties on subjects to build a new castle, bribe high officials, and prepare an expedition to the Luzon regardless of their ability to pay. They also cracked down on Christianity so obsessively as to devise new tortures by themselves. On December 1637, this finally led to the Shimabara Rebellion, the largest revolt during the shogunate era in which about 30,000 peasants helped by masterless samurais rebelled against the ruler, Matsukura Katsuie. He failed to deal with them and eventually the shogunate itself suppressed and killed them all but one on April 1638. The daimyo was excuted which was to be the sole example during the era because the shogunate recognized that his evil deeds were the root of the rebellion. Nevertheless, the shogunate decided to take the opportunity to drive Christians out.Actions

Action B of 242055 - Japan turns toward the open-door policy for Japan
Description
Because of the political consolidation of Japan, antagonism of the ruling elite towards Christianity, and general disdain for the southern Barbarians as Europeans were termed, the Tokugawa regime in the 1630s began to implement the policy of Sakoku, or the Closed Country. The Merchant Marine was disbanded, no large ocean-going ships were allowed, and foreign travel was prohibited. This culminated in the final Sakoku edict of 1639 that banned all trade with Europeans except for a small Dutch factory at Nagasaki. Japan then turned inward for the next two centuries. However, if Japan had maintained closer contacts with the West by tolerating Christianity or getting itself deeply involved with situations in East Asia, then this policy of isolation would never had occurred.Actions

This large-scale revolt was a final attempt by Ainu (the natives of Ezochi, today's Hokkaido) to preserve their political independence. Since the late of 16th century, the Matsumae clan, local rulers of the area of Ezochi then controlled by Japanese, had been given the monopoly in the trade between Japanese and Ainu at there. The clan had used their position to make an unfair profit by which the natives had came to be deeply disaffected. Eventually on June 1669, Ainu tribes throughout the region which had been opposed to each other were now united in a rebellion against Japanese under the leadership of Shakushain, a charismatic Ainu chieftain. Although they fought fiercely, losing their leaders to battles and assassinations they were suppressed by 1672. After that, the Matsumae clan and the shogunate pursued more cruel oppression and disorganization on their local community. They would never see such a serious trouble until 1789.Actions

Kira had taunted Asano in 1701 until he had lost his composure, drew his sword, and lunged at his antagonist. The shogun could not allow such a gross breach of conduct to go unpunished, and he ordered Asano's death by seppuku. The event captured the imagination of Japan at a time when the samurai ideals of loyalty and resolute action seemed almost forgotten.

The shogunate had been well aware of the threat of the Russian advance toward the Pacific Ocean since the early of 18th century. In 1789, growing dissatisfaction of Ainu (the natives of Ezochi) with high-handed ways of Japanese merchants led to a rebellion in eastern Ezochi. The shogunate ruthlessly quashed them and then exploited the incident for strengthening its control over there. By 1809, whole of Ezochi became to be directly ruled by the shogunate.Actions

Action A of 164242 - A Napoleonic War in Far East for EnglandDescription
As the Netherlands were conquered, all Dutch colonies began to provide their resources for France. Willem V the former stadholder asked Great Britain for asylum and taking over these lands. It gave Great Britain a fine reason to attack on any former VOC's territory. Even though the shogunate had known it by annual reports from Dutch merchants in Nagasaki, they had paid little attention because of the great distance. However, historically on 4 Oct 1808, HMS Phaeton sailing under a Dutch flag entered the harbor of Nagasaki. When fooled Dutch residents visited the ship, the crews captured them and threatened the authorities to burn down the harbor demanding fresh food and fuel. The shogunate decided to fight off them but it ended up revealing another problem: Local officials had reduced the garrison without asking mainly because of their default. Eventually, the shogunate reluctantly accepted their demands and the frigate left the harbor at ease. The incident caused not only punishments for those responsible, but also arguments on the diplomatic policy all over the country. The antiforeignism became dominant since there were repeated intrusions into coastal waters by foreign vessels even after the incident. Then the shogunate decided to adopt exclusive policies, which finally led to the reactionary Edict to Repel Foreign Vessels of 1825.Actions

Kakure-Kirishitans are called 'Kakure (Hidden)' Christians because they went underground to avoid harsher persecution from the shogunate after the Shimabara Rebellion of 1637. Historically they barely managed to survive the shogunate era but they became negligible disassembled groups and many of them drifted away from Catholic teachings without good leaders. However, if the shogunate's religious policies had been insufficient because of a lack of the strong Confucian backbone, Japanese Christians would have been able to be united enough to act as seditionaries, combined with mass discontent with the regime in some cases.Actions
