Feudalism in Western Europe and Japan
Subject:
World History [1]
From the 8th century on, feudalism developed and thrived in Western Europe and Japan. Though both Japan and Western Europe both focused on the same type of government, there were a few major differences between the two versions, causing European feudalism to stand out more so today and Japanese feudalism to fall into the background. Both Western European and Japanese feudalism were similar in that fact that they both developed for protection for themselves. They are also similar in ways, politically, socially, and economically. In Japan and Western Europe, politically they both have a strict system, but Western Europe had some more demanding points and rule. Both have to give up a portion of their crops.
