Military rule

Between 1086 and 1192, Japan saw intense struggles for power among three clans: the Fujiwara, Minamoto, and Taira. Emperor Go-Sanjo reduced the Fujiwara's influence by appointing Minamoto members to critical government positions and marrying into the clan. This shift led to the rise of the Minamoto clan, culminating in the establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate, which lasted nearly 150 years and solidified the rule of the samurai. However, Emperor Go-Daigo's attempts to reclaim power resulted in the Ashikaga clan taking control, leading to further conflicts and struggles among feudal lords.
