Tokugawa Shogunate
Tokugawa Shogunate appears on the map from 1600 to 1869. At its greatest recorded extent, in 1865, it covered about 461,627 km².
After a century of civil war in the Sengoku, or Warring States, period, Japan was reunited by Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi. When Hideyoshi died, Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated his rivals at Sekigahara in 1600, and in 1603 the emperor named him shogun. From Edo, the Tokugawa shoguns ruled through about 260 domain lords, the daimyo, who had to spend alternate years in Edo, while the emperor remained a figurehead in Kyoto.
