This review explores the rise of feudalism in Western Europe and Japan from 600 to 1450 CE, examining the social and political structures that developed during this period. In Europe, feudalism emerged in response to Viking invasions, creating a system where lords, knights, and serfs formed mutual dependencies for protection and labor. In Japan, the feudal system arose from civil wars among aristocratic families, with samurai serving powerful daimyos under the Bushido code. The comparison highlights the contrasting values of European and Japanese feudalism, particularly regarding the role of women.

  1. Feudalism in Western Europe and Japan Chapter 10 - Review AP World History

  2. Some modern examples: • Saudi Arabia • Vatican City • Iran A government ruled by or subject to religious authority. Theocracy

  3. 600 – 1450 CE

  4. Europe ca. 1100CE

  5. What group isolated Russia? What was the result of this isolation? Formation of Governments The areas that arose on the fringe of the classical world, (Russia, parts of sub-SaharanAfrica, Japan and northwestern Europe) formed governments with no real historical precedent. What groups? Rulers? Civilization based upon what?

  6. RISE of Feudalism (Europe) • Feudalism began when the Vikings started invading and raiding. • Because people had no protection; lords, knights, and serfs banded together for security. • The lords and knights traded protection for the serfs labor and the food they produced. • Knights operated under a code of honor called Chivalry (courtesy, protecting serfs, loyalty to lord). Honor was not the thing that held the knights to their lords. A contract bound them, so in the event a lord violated a term of the agreement, a knight was free to leave. Developed out of Need

  7. A religious class = Catholic Church Clergy. They would pray, the knights and nobility would fight, and the serfs would work. • Note that around that time period, Roman Catholicism was the only thing connecting people.

  8. RISE of Feudalism (Japan) They were the central warlord, and the most powerful in their regions They were less powerful lords which recruited the Samurai to fight and protect their land and families They were the Japanese knights fought for their lords (Daimyos) Japanese Feudalism formed at the end of the Heian dynasty when civil war broke out among local aristocratic families, each battling for power. Worked the land to provide food to the people above on the chain. Developed out of Need

  9. Code of Honor They operated under the Code of Bushido, a code of honor that mandates their life. Samurai had very strong senses of honor, and would be shamed if they failed in their task. This strict sense of duty and honor is the only thing that drove them to keep their obligations and perform to their very best, often fighting to their death. This is in contrast to the European knights who worked because of a contract.

  10. European feudalism was grounded in Roman legal structure while Japan feudalism had as its basis Chinese Confucian morality. GENDER: ROLE OF WOMEN Japan – Could fight as Samurai, but still subservient to men. Europe – Had no power, almost always subservient to men.
