sengoku period

Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about this period. While dozens if not hundreds of clans all over Japan fought for dominance during the Sengoku Jidai, the Ashikaga clan, whose kinsmen held the post of shogun (and were, thus, nominal rulers of Japan) for most of the period, were powerless...

I won't beat around the bush: My objective here, cliché as it may be, is to attain a Christian Japan. Originally, I considered having Oda Nobunaga survive, instead of dying in the Honno-ji Incident. I remembered that he was sympathetic to Christianity, viewing it as a tool against the Buddhist...

Ouchi Yoshitaka was a Japanese daimyo who led the Ouchi clan, which at its height ruled most of Chugoku and northern Kyushu, from 1528 to 1551. He spent his early reign fighting the Amago clan, but after a disastrous defeat in an attempt to conquer Izumo province in 1542 withdrew from military...

(Based off a previous thread I made that died and wanted a fresh start.) Oda Nobunaga was one of the Great Unifiers of Japan and is one of my favorite historical figures in history. Through brilliance, and brutality, he almost unified the entirety of Japan. He was open to foreign culture and...

Orient is an alternate history manga set in the Sengoku Jidai, as mentioned in the first page of the manga, the Point of Divergence is when the Kishin appeared and killed all the famous Sengoku Daimyo. We don’t know what exactly caused the Kishin to appear in the human world, but I have a...

The Mori clan was one of the more powerful daimyo houses of the Sengoku period, dominating the region of Chugoku at the height of their prominence. What could be a good POD for them to be the ones to unify Japan instead of Oda Nobunaga and his successors? Could avoiding the sudden death of Mori...

What if Ferdinand Magellan won the Battle of Mactan and established a Spanish foothold in Asia four decades earlier than IOTL? What would be the political, cultural and economic consequences of this, and how significant could they be? Could it somehow affect things not only in Maphilindo, but...

The Sengoku period that kept Japan divided for over a century was precipitated by a succession crisis that erupted into a conflict known as the Ōnin War. What if this succession crisis - and the resulting war - hadn't happened?

According to Wikipedia, there were at least three attempts on Oda Nobunaga's life by ninjas. What if one of these attempts had succeeded?

The Tainei-ji incident of 1551 was a coup by Sue Harukata (then known as Sue Takafusa) against Ōuchi Yoshitaka, forcing the latter to commit Seppuku and abruptly ending the prominence and prosperity of the Ōuchi clan. What if this incident hadn't happened?

What if Tokugawa Ieyasu had been defeated at the Battle of Sekigahara? How might that have changed things?

In 1582, things seemed to be coming up roses for Oda Nobunaga. Central Japan was firmly under his control, and the handful of rival clans he hadn't already defeated were seriously weakened by internal affairs. But all was not as well as it appeared, since there was a traitor in his ranks. While...
