The Sengoku Jidai (Aeng. 'Warring States period') is the period in Oyashimane history in which civil wars and social upheavals took place almost continuously from the 1450s-1620s. The period was characterized by the overthrow of a superior power by a subordinate one. During this period, the traditional master-servant relationship between the lord and his vassals broke down, with the vassals eliminating the lord, internal clan and vassal conflicts over leadership of the lord's family, and frequent rebellion and puppetry by branch families against the lord's family. These events sometimes led to the rise of {{wp|samurai}} to the rank of {{wp|sengoku daimyo}}. It was also marked by the loosening of {{wp|samurai culture}}, with people born into other social strata sometimes making a name for themselves as warriors and thus becoming samurai. | The Sengoku Jidai (Aeng.

It is assumed to end when, aided by the [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company|Ularien Trading Company (UTC)]], the Hideyoshi daimyo, Mariko Hideyoshi, consolidated power and established at first a shogunate ([[1617]]), and then crowned herself the empress of Kokkahito in [[1646]]. | |||

=====Sea Lords-Daimyo Wars===== | =====Sea Lords-Daimyo Wars===== | ||
The 16th and early 17th centuries in Oyashima were a period of maritime chaos and power struggles known as the Sea Lord-Daimyo Wars. This era witnessed fierce clashes between the independent, seafaring warlords (Sea Lords) and the rising power of the land-based feudal lords (Daimyo). The [[Shauku Archipelago]] provided fertile ground for the rise of powerful maritime clans. Controlling strategic islands and crucial trade routes, these Sea Lords, like the Kurokami and the Akashi, amassed wealth and influence through a combination of trade, tolls, and – at times – piracy. Meanwhile, on the mainland, powerful Daimyo families like the Yamatori and the Fujiwaro consolidated their control over land. Unlike the Sea Lords, these Daimyo lacked strong naval forces but desired access to the lucrative maritime trade routes and the potential for overseas expansion. Tensions between the Sea Lords and the Daimyo began to simmer in the mid-16th century. Territorial disputes, competition over trade routes, and increasing Daimyo ambitions for naval dominance all contributed to the growing animosity. The tipping point came when the ambitious Daimyo, Lord Yamato Yoshinobu, declared his intent to unify Oyashima under his rule and demanded subservience from the Sea Lords. | The 16th and early 17th centuries in Oyashima were a period of maritime chaos and power struggles known as the Sea Lord-Daimyo Wars.
