	The Sengoku Period saw Aizu and the region undergo a rapid series of political exchanges, mutinies, and battles for its control by prominent daimyo. The last Ashina lord, Ashina Moritaka, died in 1583 by assassination at the hands of Oba Sanzaemon, leading to the control of the domain by the Ashikaga Shogunate allied and Minamoto family stemming Satake Clan. When the Satake Clan installed a twelve year old of their clan and bestowed upon him the name Ashina Morishige to act as lord of Aizu, the remnants of the Ashina Clan regathered by 1589 under the banner of Date Masamune of Sendai in rebellion against the Satake, leading to the Battle of Aizu of 1589. During this, Date Masamune quickly mutinied and proclaimed his control over the region, driving out the Satake Clan and annihilating the Ashina Clan. Despite such victory, Date Masamune's ownership of Aizu would be shortlived, surrendering the region to the newly risen Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1590.

			===Prehistory to Pre-Kamakura===
	The region where Aizu stands has historically been long settled, dating as far back as since prehistoric times. Aizu itself formally gains its name upon it being the meeting place of Ohiko and Takenukawa-wake, two generals sent by the legendary Emperor Sujin to subdue native Emishi rebellions in the area. Before the 12th Century, the synonymous capitol Aizu and its surrounding muncipalities were market towns and centers of produce, and a base for regional warlords.

	Into the Kamakura Era and the Sengoku Jidai Period, Aizu would become a domain valued for its tactical position as a middle point to northern Tohoku and Ura Nippon and a way into the Kanto and Kansei regions within the heart of Japan. After becoming a part of the centralized Kamakura Shogunate, the resultant Minamoto Shogunate in 1192 lead by Minamoto no Yoritomo would grant provincial control to Suwara Yoshitsura of the Miura Clan, whose later descendant, Ashina Morinori, would come to build Tsuruga Castle; initially named Kurokawa Castle, in Aizu in 1384.
