My favorite time in History was the Sengoku Jidai period. This is the time at the end of the 15th to the end of the 16th century when the famous Samurai wars occurred. The samurai wars were wars between different clans, after the government crumbled, in the area we now call Japan. The wars lasted nearly one hundred years. One clan came out on top as the ruler of japan, The Oda Clan. The Oda Clan was governed originally by Oda Nobuhide. Oda Nobunaga was his heir after Nobuhide died. Od Nobunaga won many wars in his lifetime. Many of them were against all odds.
