Introduction

In the last section you learned about how the Samurai lead honorable

lives. They did this by following a set of rules called Bushido. In this

section, Order Breaks Down, we learn about the foreign invasions and

internal rebellion. Which weakened Japan.

Foreign Invasions

• Chinas emperor (Kublai Khan)= ordered army to attack islands in 1274

• Warriors= hit by storm. • Storm= sank many ships, Mongols left • 1281= Mongols invaded again • Again, another storm hit Japan • Storm= kamikaze “divine wind” • Nobles=unhappy, shoguns did not give

them credit

Internal Rebellion

• Emperor = tired of no control• Nobles/Diamyo = wanted to break

from shogun– Small wars

• 1400s – Shoguns lost power– Diamyo controlled their territory

• No central powerful authority

Conclusion

In this section you learned about how foreign invasion and internal

rebellion weakened Japan. However in the end of the section you learned

that the nobles and emperor had gained much power. In the next section you will learn about how

leaders compete to unify Japan and isolate it from the rest of the world.
