The '''Tokugawa shogunate''' (徳川幕府) was the feudal military government that ruled [[Japan]] from 1603 to 1868. It was founded by [[Tokugawa Ieyasu]] three years after his victory at the [[Battle of Sekigahara]], ending the tumultuous [[Sengoku period]]. Tokugawa's reunification of Japan was aided by the [[Japanese Brotherhood of Assassins|Japanese Brotherhood]] of [[Assassins]],<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Memories]]''</ref> who would support them again in their twilight years. After more than two centuries of sociopolitical calm, pressures for the conservative regime to industrialize in the face of Western advances weakened the Tokugawa. The climax came when [[Templars]] who had infiltrated [[Emperor Meiji]]'s inner circle pushed for the dissolution of the shogunate. Unable to prevail against the imperial forces in the [[Boshin War]], political authority was at last returned to the Chrysanthemum Throne in 1868. This spelled not only the end of Tokugawa rule but also closed the chapter on the age of samurai.<ref>''[[Assassin's Creed: Fragments – Aizu's Blade]]''</ref>
