Category:Japanese samurai leaders
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Japanese samurai leaders were those warriors who commanded samurai armies in the conflicts of fedual Japan. Many went by other titles such as daimyo, or fedual lord, and many took on higher titles such as Shogun, Sessho and Kampaku upon victory in war.
This category was created to distinguish the feudal commanders of the past from the leaders of Japan's modern military and Self-Defense Forces of more recent memory. The commanders of samurai armies fought with different methods & motives, different tactics, strategies, technology, and in different political environments from those who commanded Japan's modern Armed Forces in WWII and the other wars of the late 19th century to the present.
