The countryside was pillaged by Nobunaga's soldiers, the villages burned, and the people massacred.		Iga was small, about 30 km by 40 km or roughly a day's walk from one end to the other. Although about 80 km from the capital of Kyoto, the province was off the main communication routes. To leave or enter Iga, there were only paths running along the gorges of a narrow valley, or mountain passes. From the [[Middle Ages]], a tradition of fierce autonomy had developed in this region. It is said that banished court aristocrats or defeated warriors took refuge in Iga. In the 16th century, the land of Iga was divided into free communes. The small [[samurai]], who were village chiefs supported by peasants, made their region an independent space. A sort of republic ([[Iga ikki\|sōkoku ikki]]) which recognized no higher authority. However, these community structures were crushed in 1581 by the armies of [[Oda Nobunaga]], who [[Tenshō Iga War\|devastated]] Iga. The countryside was pillaged by Nobunaga's soldiers, the villages burned, and the people massacred.
