Nobunaga performed seppuku after being surrounded by Mitsuhide's army. If Nobunaga survived the coup, he could unite Japan faster. He had an interest in foreigners so its unlikely Japan would go to isolation, pockets of Christian Japanese would exist, and Japan and China would be in an arms race. The Europeans cant subdue China if they were in an arms race with Japan. Im new to Althis, what do you think of the idea?
