Samurai began their rigorous training
Throughout the years, both Japan and Europe turned into a Chaotic mess, around the same time. In the late 400’s the Roman empire had fallen, leaving Divided and weekend kingdoms. On the other side of the world, Japan was having some similar issues. The Japanese emperors and the Imperial Court we're both challenged by the rise of Clans. Despite religion, Samurai and knights are more similar than different.
From approximately 1000 - 1600 CE, Samurai and knights were fierce and loyal warriors who fought for their country. Knights were in Europe while Samurais were in Japan. Without samurais and knights, the world would be in a different place then where it is now. Although they have many similarities and differences, mostly samurai and knights have more similarities than differences. Samurai had a code called, Bushido.
‘’The life of samurai was not his own but belonged entirely to his
Many similarities and differences stood beside the Samurai and the Knights, but was there more similarities than differences between them? Samurai and Knights were both powerful warriors back then. The Samurai had lived in Feudal Japan, and knights had lived in different parts of Europe. They both had different culture ideas, and of course different language, and yet also they both had similarities of them both. These are Social positions, Military training and armor, and Code of Honor.
Samurai and Knights DBQ From approximately 1000 - 1600 CE, a class of warriors arose, they swore oaths of loyalty and they fought for their kings to keep them safe. These warriors were called the Samurai and Knights. The Samurai fought for the Japanese and the Knights fought for Europe. They are both warriors fighting for their people.
From completely different areas of the known world, two of the greatest groups of warriors are formed. Each trained-for-battle group, according to the Overview, “...who swore oaths of loyalty to noble lords and fought to the death to defend them in battle” spent years learning how to kill. The samurai and knights had many similarities and differences in terms of their training, armor, and codes. For both classes of warriors, training started when four or five. The types of training for samurai and knights included both physical and spiritual aspects.
By reading The Wave by Todd Strasser, chapter 1 to 5 (pg.1-40), I really interested about (Chapter 2) what Amy asks Ben in the history class, why there’s no Germans didn’t stop the Nazis from killing Jewish? Ben says that after the war, many German people said that they don’t know what Hitler was doing. A lot of students (include me) don’t understand how German people said that they don’t know, it’s a very big event happen at that time period, how could they don’t know! (Chapter 4) Ben tries to help the students more understand about the Nazis and German people, so he thinks that why don’t let the students taste of what life in Nazi Germany.
All of this leads to an impact on military, feudalistic society and Japan’s history. To commence, Samurai’s are important in Japanese history because they helped start feudalism and the Shogun’s rule. It all started when the central government had no authority over the large landowners. The Daimyo refused to pay their taxes, so when the Jurisdiction came to collect, the daimyo had this huge army of Samurais.
Samurai and Knights: Were the Similarities Greater Than the Differences? Japan and Europe had unique lifestyles, one part being its military. It consisted of archers, who wielded bows and skilled swordsmen, called samurai. In Europe however, their military consisted of archers and swordsmen called knights. These two military figures share many similarities between each other, outweighing the differences.
The Samurai and Knights are both similar and different in many ways. The question is however who would win in a battle? There is much history of these two in combat we’ll have to analyze their training, honor, loyalty and skills to see who would win in a battle. While Knights and Samurai have many similarities, in one battle, the advantage would be to the Samurai and this can be seen in documents C1, E, G, and F. The first way that the Samurai would have an advantage is through their training.
Japan’s rich history of power, wealth, and influence had many remarkable eras. One of the more notable periods in Japanese history was that of the Tokugawa Period (1600-1868). The Tokugawa Period was talked about in Musui’s Story, an autobiographical book, written by Kokichi Katsu. (Katsu ix) Katsu wrote Musui’s Story for three main reasons: to share how he had transformed from a low-ranking samurai to a well-known hero, to show his sense of self, and to serve as a cautionary tale for his descendants.
Saigō is the “last samurai” in both Ravina’s book and in Zwick’s movie. The main question remains “was Saigō the last samurai “or is it simply a good title for his deep attentiveness to the “way of the warrior”? Algren acts as if he is the last Samurai, in the movie with the Saigō. Based on historical events there was no Algren and there was a deeper reflection on how Saigō became such a charismatic warrior. This paper will make comparisons from the book and the movie to decipher accurate characteristics and parallels from both the film and the book.
what really fascinates me is that the samurai weren’t a rare elite force; however, they were an entire social class and they were about 10 percent of Japan’s population at that time. What really grabbed my attention is the way the dress up, they were stylish and at their time they were rock stars in their style of clothing. The samurai dressed up to move with speed, to have freedom of movement and travel. The weapons were unique
But also change within the military occurred with the replacement of Samurai authority. Trying to be equal competitors in world power as their Western neighbors. Japan had gotten imperialist ideas from 1853 when the U.S. black ships steamed
