  • Summary

  • In the 16th century, Japan was embroiled in what is known as Sengoku jidai - ‘The Warring States’ period. It was a time of bloody battles, social upheaval and is known as the most violent in Japan’s history.


    But how, and when, did 150 years of bitter warfare and division come to an end? How did unification change the face of Japanese society?


    In the second episode of this series delving into the history behind the latest Assassin’s Creed game, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Matt Lewis and Dr Christopher Harding discover how three men overpowered and outwitted Japan’s rival warlords and in doing so, brought about the unification of a fractured region.


    Echoes of History is a Ubisoft podcast, brought to you by History Hit.
