Scenarios about 'shogunate'
A feudal military government system in Japan where a shogun (military dictator) ruled as the de facto leader while the Emperor maintained symbolic authority. The shogunate periods, particularly the Tokugawa (1603-1868), shaped Japanese politics, social hierarchy, and cultural development through centralized military control, isolationist policies, and a rigid class system. In alternate history scenarios, shogunates provide frameworks for exploring different paths of Japanese modernization, foreign relations, and the balance between traditional power structures and outside influences.
