Japanese History thread

I simply want to gather all the fans of the Sengoku Jidai history together.I personally feel that this history is great and we can learn many many things from the strategies used during this period of unrest.So fans of the majestic Oda Nobunaga,the almighty Takeda Shingen,the patient Iyeyasu Tokugawa and the buddhist lord Uesugi Kenshin...let's all gather and have fun sharing knowledge!!!We'll learn new things and have fun at the same time! :woot:

Ok one question to start everything up.If Takeda Shingen wasn't assasinated by a musket-wielding assassin...is he able to unify Japan earlier than 1603?And what about Oda Nobunaga?If Akechi Mitsuhide did not mistook his message and conquered Kyushu Island...then can Nobunaga unite Japan faster?

Ok maybe the actual history isn't that interesting for many...so let's talk abut games on this.Onimusha...Samurai Warriors...Sengoku Basara...anyone fancy to talk about these?!?

About Samurai Warriors...which battle do you all like to play in most?!?I personally like the battle of Nagashino,helping Takeda's camp.Fighting with a group of muskets and having another shooting at you at the same time is very irritating.But it's fun if you like challenges!!!

We have a gaming thread.

Thread unlocked.

Maybe instead of a specific era in Japanese history, this thread should be more generic to discuss all of Japanese history, ne? :headscratch:

I don't know... Maybe.

Let's see what the thread originator thinks.

Time to do some reading in Wikipedia, or do a internet search, or go to the library, ne? :victory:

Actually I was hoping I could learn it from this thread, being lazy to go to wiki or something :hehe: :hehe: :bonk: :bonk:

@ben_galahad : Just noticed it, I think you misspelled the tittle, if you to talk about the history in Sam Warrior, should it be Sengoku Jidai

There's no Japanese history courses at school?

Man, I wish Kitakaze would start posting here again... He's got a college degree in Japanese History... :victory:

A japanese history course could be fun but i imagine it'd be really hard. *remembering dates, names, relationships*

It'd be no different than learning U.S. History. :)
