:Set against the backdrop of Japan's Warring States period (from the mid-15th century), when the central government was visibly weakening, feudal lords rose to fill the power vacuum. Clans emerged and waged war against each other to strengthen their own power. After a century and a half of civil war, Japan was nearly unified by Oda Nobunaga. However, in 1582, Hideyoshi succeeded Nobunaga after Nobunaga was betrayed by Akechi and rescued by Hideyoshi. In 1598, Hideyoshi died without a successor, appointing the Council of Five Elders – Tokugawa, Maeda, Ukita, Uesugi, and Mori – comprising the five most powerful feudal lords in Japan at the time, to govern the country.
