The first human inhabitants of the Japanese archipelago have been traced to the Paleolithic, around 38-39,000 years ago. The Jōmon period, named after its cord-marked pottery, was followed by the Yayoi period in the first millennium BC when new inventions were introduced from Asia. During this period, the first known written reference to Japan was recorded in the Chinese Book of Han in the first century AD.
Around the 3rd century BC, the Yayoi people from the continent immigrated to the Japanese archipelago and introduced iron technology and agricultural civilization. Because they had an agricultural civilization, the population of the Yayoi began to grow rapidly and ultimately overwhelmed the Jōmon people, natives of the Japanese archipelago who were hunter-gatherers. Between the fourth and ninth centuries, Japan's many kingdoms and tribes gradually came to be unified under a centralized government, nominally controlled by the Emperor of Japan. The imperial dynasty established at this time continues to this day, albeit in an almost entirely ceremonial role. In 794, a new imperial capital was established at Heian-kyō (modern Kyoto), marking the beginning of the Heian period, which lasted until 1185. The Heian period is considered a golden age of classical Japanese culture. Japanese religious life from this time and onwards was a mix of native Shinto practices and Buddhism.
Over the following centuries, the power of the imperial house decreased, passing first to great clans of civilian aristocrats - most notably the Fujiwara - and then to the military clans and their armies of samurai. The Minamoto clan under Minamoto no Yoritomo emerged victorious from the Genpei War of 1180-85, defeating their rival military clan, the Taira. After seizing power, Yoritomo set up his capital in Kamakura and took the title of shōgun. In 1274 and 1281, the Kamakura shogunate withstood two Mongol invasions, but in 1333 it was toppled by a rival claimant to the shogunate, ushering in the Muromachi period. During this period, regional warlords called daimyō grew in power at the expense of the shōgun. Eventually, Japan descended into a period of civil war. Over the course of the late 16th century, Japan was reunified under the leadership of the prominent daimyō Oda Nobunaga and his successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. After Toyotomi's death in 1598, Tokugawa Ieyasu came to power and was appointed shōgun by the emperor. The Tokugawa shogunate, which governed from Edo (modern Tokyo), presided over a prosperous and peaceful era known as the Edo period (1600-1868). The Tokugawa shogunate imposed a strict class system on Japanese society and cut off almost all contact with the outside world.
Portugal and Japan came into contact in 1543, when the Portuguese became the first Europeans to reach Japan by landing in the southern archipelago. They had a significant impact on Japan, even in this initial limited interaction, introducing firearms to Japanese warfare. The American Perry Expedition in 1853-54 more completely ended Japan's seclusion; this contributed to the fall of the shogunate and the return of power to the emperor during the Boshin War in 1868. The new national leadership of the following Meiji era (1868-1912) transformed the isolated feudal island country into an empire that closely followed Western models and became a great power. Although democracy developed and modern civilian culture prospered during the Taishō period (1912-1926), Japan's powerful military had great autonomy and overruled Japan's civilian leaders in the 1920s and 1930s. The Japanese military invaded Manchuria in 1931, and from 1937 the conflict escalated into a prolonged war with China. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 led to war with the United States and its allies. Japan's forces soon became overextended, but the military held out in spite of Allied air attacks that inflicted severe damage on population centers. Emperor Hirohito announced Japan's surrender on 15 August 1945, following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki and the Soviet invasion of Manchuria.
The Allies occupied Japan until 1952, during which a new constitution was enacted in 1947 that transformed Japan into the constitutional monarchy and parliamentary democracy it is today. After 1955, Japan enjoyed very high economic growth under the governance of the Liberal Democratic Party, and became a world economic powerhouse. Since the Lost Decade of the 1990s, Japanese economic growth has slowed.
The series "Shogun" brought me here ❤

So are they just stopping the series?
*Qur'an 3:106:* “On The Day, some faces will turn _white,_ some faces will turn *black.* Those whose faces turn black, Did you disbelieve after your belief? Then taste the punishment for what you rejected."
*Qur'an 39:60* “On The Day of Resurrection you shall see those who _LIED_ against Allah with their faces turned *black.* Is Hell not vast enough to provide a room to the vainglorious?”
*Sahih Muslim 5:2334* “The Messenger of Allah (May Peace Be Upon Him) says: ''The most hateful among the creation of Allah is one Black man among them.”
*Ishaq 243* "The Apostle (Peace Be Upon Him) says: “Whoever wants to see Satan should look at _Nabtal_ (a Black man)"
*Mishkat al-Masabih 119 book 1 hadith 112* "The Holy Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said: ‘Allah created Adam when he created him. Then He stroke his right shoulder and took out a White race as if they were seeds, and He stroke his left shoulder and took out a Black race as if they were coals.
Then He said to those who were in his right side: Towards paradise and I don't care. He said to those who were on his left shoulder: Towards Hell and I don't care.’"
Shogun brought me here. It has to be one of the best shows ever.
*Sahih al-Bukhari 9:87:161* “The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) said, ‘I saw a Black woman leave Medina and settle in Mahai’a. I interpreted that as a symbol of an epidemic coming to Mahai'a.’”
its a much better book...

Much love to 🇯🇵 from 🇺🇸 … Great documentary
We can not explain Japanese history without Jomon. Jomon people are ancient Japanese people. They were not immigrant who came from Korea or Chinese. they were the oldest people in Asia. Basically they were not in Korea and Chinese. this is important history for east Asia.
That is, we cannot explain our history without DNA analysis.
あなたの言う事は、正しいです。縄文時代には、既に高度な文明が存在していました。近年の研究や発見で、日本の古代史の認識は大きく変わって来ています。
Koreans always mistakenly believe that the Japanese exist because of Korea. Even China's Han people, the ancestors of Koreans, claim that they originated from Korea.😂
@@user-yv6mh5oc6e first of all you should study DNA. Current history needs to be confirmed by DNA history. After that Please comment. Haplogroup of Japanese people is basically group D. This is only Japan and Tibet in asia. The oldest group in asia. There is a high correlation with E. E is people like Jewish.
On the other hand, Korea and China are group O. this is very common in asia.

History of Japan by Bill Wurtz comment chain?
Japan is an island by the sea filled with volcanoes and it’s beautiful
Bill Wurtz did it better
-100,000,000 Japan mightve not been here...
In the year -40000 it was here and you can walk to it, and some people walk to it
Then it got warmer and some icebergs melted and now its an island.
During the Edo era, Japan was actually open not to the whole world but exclusively to the Dutch. Japanese studied Dutch literature and kept up with what was happening in the world. This is one of the reasons why Japan was able to successfully go through industrial revolution immediately after the Meiji restoration.
On a side note, Japan expelled other nations like the Portuguese and Spanish because the Japanese rulers saw what happened to the Philippines and also their trade exchange rate on gold was extremely unfair to Japan where the Dutch just traded fairly.
Japan was closed indeed at this point in history. The Portuguese were the first Europeans to make contact with the Japanese in the 16th Century, 1542 to be precise during the Sengoku period. The Japanese traded exclusively with the Portuguese who founded the ports of Nagasaki, introduced the fire arms, brought the first missionaries, had impact the many aspects on their culture. Portugal and Japanese relations go back since that time. Due to a succession crisis and a failed war in North Africa we lost independence for 60 years, forcing us to go to war alongside Spain against the Dutch, losing influence in Japan as a result. By the time Portuguese regained their independence in 1640 we were 1 year too late. Though the influence in culture never left.
@@theinvicta957 what kind of eurocentric bullshit is this? Japan had trade with a wide range of asian nations, China, Korea, Ryukyuans and so on for centuries.... The largest trading partners of Japan have always been always the Chinese and the Edo period not different from that in any regard. The Dutch only held a petite artificial island at Nagasaki Bay, meanwhile the Chinese held a significant portion of Nagasaki, the Chinatown of Nagasaki, urban place for real
@@theinvicta957 The Japanese traded "exclusively" with the Portuguese lol. You have gotta be some joker.
Nagasaki was never founded by the Portuguese, otherwise it would have a Portuguese Name as expected, which it doesn't. Nagasaki remained a small scale port throughout the whole time of contact with the Portuguese, not to say Nagasaki hit its peak in the mid-17th century with Chinese Merchants half a century after the Portuguese were gone. And as a matter of Fact Hakata on northern Kyushu was the most economically important port for Japan during the entire Period of Portuguese contact. By the way Nagasaki was just one of several ports put on the Map by the Wokou sailing back and forth from China, dozens of other ports too on westernmost Japan were operation bases for the Chinese and Japanese. Most of the Portuguese cargo consisted of Chinese Silk....
@@Flymoki13 What are you yapping about? I didn’t said the Japanese didn’t trade with anybody else. I said that there was indeed a time when they were isolated from the rest of the world for 2 centuries. And that the Portuguese where the first E.U.R.O.P.E.A.N.S trading exclusively with them.
@@theinvicta957should have said the Portuguese were the first Europeans to trade exclusively with Japan rather than " the japanese exclusively traded with the Portuguese". What a big difference in meaning...
great video
History very interesting
They really did a whole ass speed run lmao
really good overview man
"Nau do Trato" in portuguese.
Há uma clara relação entre a chegada dos primeiros europeus, os Portugueses, (com a introdução das armas, "nanban art", etc.) e a unificação do Japão e, consequentemente o astronómico desenvolvimento do Japão. Thank you.
I'd be happy to hear Japan being focused on! Thank you.🇯🇵
Great video, Arigtato! One request though. I want Hoppou Ryodo (Four islands in Hokkaido under conflict with Russia) to be included in the map of Japan 😢
My respect for Japan and its history 🇯🇵
Great! I've been interested in Japan so much lately :) This should be interesting!

Japanese people are 85-94% related to the Peninsula people. FST is the closest even accounting for the Jomon DNA and the huge influx of Northern Chinese into Korean gene pool. Modern Koreans are too related to Japanese genetically.
Well looks like you’ve skipped the Jomon people who were hunter gatherers and lived in Japan for thousands of years before the Yayoi people migrated from Central Asia (correction : Northeastern Asia) and brought agriculture.
yeah, I think from the Tang Dynasty of china

Japanese history is one of the best thing ever ❤
I liked shogun but ghost of Tsushima brought me here phenomenal game
Came here after Shogun series !
You may encounter people in Japan who sometimes see things that look like the South or Southeast Asia, but that is because the Japanese have the blood of the indigenous Jomon people.
Was the first permanent capital not in Nara
The RUclips algorithm brought me here after I watched Shogun.

VERY poor start to video with a huge historical error.
First people from mainland Asia to Japan 40,000 years ago DID NOT BRING AGRICULTURE OR METAL WORKS!
You are approx 30,000 years to early!!!
Happy to be corrected but you will have to re-write the history books!
No agriculture ☠️

Before you know Japanese history, you need to know Korean history to know Japan
Originally another name for Korea's history Baekje Japan was the country that Baekje united with its people from the mainland to create Japan, an undeniable fact in ancient Chinese history
After all, Japan is a country created by the people of the mainland of Korea. If you get to know Japanese history deeply, you will know that its roots are in Korea after all
What is already known among Chinese librarians and prominent scholars in Japan, and what the Emperor of Japan himself said is not a lie
If your theory works,all country were made by africans😅😅
The first to discover earth and explore all its landscape is indeed the hidden knowledge where we're all first came from
My wildest guess is outer this earth
Your fantasy is really funny!
Korea has nothing to do with Japans history at all. Dna analyses tell us the Japanese are Jomon people

Chill out lil bro its not that deep

Japan started out as a branch country of Korea (Gaya, and then Baekje)
Japanese are genetically a good chunk more related to Koreans than to the next Northern Chinese group. During Kofun, many Chinese and Koreans moved to Japanese islands, but most likely more Korean-related DNA.
