Sees the Footmouse ad: "This looks dumb, but at least it's not Raid Shadow Lege..."

Hideyaki betrayed his family for a raid shadow legends sponsorship

I’d choose Footmouse anyday over Raid Shadow Lesbians

Who here is watching this after watching Shogun

You have missed the legendary Shimazu's "Forward retreat", where his remaining 300 men charged straight into Tokugawa's army. Large number of soldiers on eastern army became scared of Shimazu soldiers that they just let them go through.

I honestly paused after the Footmouse bit and I was like: 'Surely they cant be serious? I mean... yeah I guess one could click with one's big toe aswell... but... what about actual control, hand-eye coordination etc. This is either a joke or a VERY stupid product.' I literally looked in the comments for a minute or two before I continued and saw it was actually an advert for Raid Shadow Legends. Oh History Marche! Should have done this April 1st! XD

Congratulations on your impressive victory Toranaga!!🍺🍺😊

Yes! Thank you for this video! Some facts: -Otani Yoshitsugu is thought to have had a skin disease, most probably was a leper, and still was present in the battle. -The shimazu didn't retreat to mt Tengu, they charged directly into the Tokugawa position, punctured through and escaped through the other side. Shimazu Yoshihiro's nephew, Toyohisa, died in the charge. -Hideaki hated Mitsunari since the Imjin war, when his efforts and his bravery in battle were ignored by Mitsunari which led to him being sanctioned by his uncle, Toyotomi Hideyoshi. That's where the grudge came from. Tokugawa defended Hideaki before Hideyoshi. That was the favour Hideaki owed Ieyasu.

Always annex Hosokowa and Uesegi first...

In fact, the "Eastern Army" and the "Western Army" were just how the historians addressed for the factions of pro-Tokugawa and anti-Tokugawa (not necessarily recognizing Ishida Mitsunari as the supreme leader) later. In reality, you could hardly assure which daimyo is truly loyal (or disloyal) to your side. Most of them was just like "sit-and-watch by a moment, then join the side which looked more likely to win, and then probably switch side again later if necessary". It's a very, very complicated situation in obscurity among the 250-300 daimyos involved in such a huge civil war - both Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari had been writing a great number of letters to communicate with many of the other daimyos during the AD 1600 Sekigahara Campaign. So the entire war wasn't just a military competition, but also the political competition for procuring allegiance from daimyos as many as possible. Note that who initially joined Ieyasu's eastern expedition against Uesugi was not certainly Ieyasu's ally - the most famous daimyo who turned back at this stage was Sanada Masayuki, who broke with Ieyasu and fended off the 38,000-strong "Eastern Army" (actually largely composed of Tokugawa's troops, unlike the troops sent for westward via the coastal route) 's onslaught on his homebase Ueda Castle for a while, effectively delayed Tokugawa Hidetada (Ieyasu's son and heir)'s march towards Sekigahara to reunite with his father's coalition army, depriving Ieyasu of the invaluable reinforcement which would play the key role in the engagement. Yes, it's "coalition" and around 60% of the "Eastern Army" gathering at Sekigahara wasn't commanded by Ieyasu or the Tokugawa retainers - only that 30,000-strong reserve troops belongs to the Tokugawa Clan, along with his direct retainer Il Naomasa's troops, the rest was largely the retainers "enjoyed the favor of Toyotomi Hideyoshi" (either relatives or close retainers with fief granted) who still possessed independent command over their force despite of their recognition to Ieyasu's overall leadership. In addition, I disagree with the concept about Ishida Mitsunari's side being called "loyalists" - indeed, the Toyotomi Clan at Osaka never openly supported Mitsunari albeit acting favorably towards Mitsunari and his allies. Mitsunari desperately urged Toyotomi Hideyori (or said, his mother, Yodo-dono) to give him a gesture of "official support" (for example, Hideyori showed himself at the camp of the Western Army to declare the Toyotomi Clan's stance clearly) so that Ieyasu would become "a de facto traitor" the Western Army could fully capitalize on. However, the fact that Osaka (Toyotomi) actually remained neutral and supported neither side made the nature of the entire war far different from our popular, stereotyped concept that Ieyasu and his allies were the "rebel" who betrayed Toyotomi while Mitsunari and his allies were the "loyalist" who defended the authority of Toyotomi (that made people laughing, what authority could a 8-year-old child have without any "direct retainer" powerful enough to back him up ? Maybe Maeda Toshiie could "back him up", but he had been dead in AD 1599. And his mother Yodo-dono's political influence was basically confined of Osaka). Indeed, both Ieyasu and Mitsunari claimed that their side was the true loyalist while the counterpart was the treacherous who just fought for usurpation of power. And most importantly, the Toyotomi Clan never expressed stance in this matter, so the Sekigahara Campaign was actually "the civil war between the retainers of Toyotomi Hideyori". Also note that Ishida Mitsunari was never the effective supreme leader of the Western Army, unlike Tokugawa Ieyasu of the Eastern Army, since his prestige and military power (with just around 193,000-koku domain which was far less than Ieyasu's over 2,000,000-koku) was so weak in comparison with many major daimyos - that's why he asked the more powerful Mori Clan's leader Mori Terumoto nominally takeover the position of the "commander-in-chief" as a method to attract more daimyos of the Western Japan join his side. I have even more want to utter, but let me halt here and leave to your thought.

I see History Marche is starting to cover Sengoku Jidai. I hope you cover this further! Also, that Footmouse caught me off guard.

I love how every small battle even between units are covered in these videos. The same details are not brushed over.

Shogun 2 flashbacks playing this HIstorical Battle was haaaarrrddd. A Shamefur Dispray!!!

I didn't know this happened around the time of Mihai Viteazul (Michael the Brave). Very nice doing this after that series.

I used FootMouse to write this comment

Tokugawa Hidetada was delayed to aid his father by foolishly trying to take the Ueda castle, controlled by the Sanada clan, while on the way. The Sanada were known for their tactical acumen, and held off Hidetada's much larger force.

Here because of the Shogun Series.

You missed the Shimazu's legendary forward retreat.

This battle always reminds me of the speech by Robert Baratheon in GoT S1. "Which is bigger, five or one". Mitsunari's coalition never stood a chance against the united fist of Tokugawa.

I first learned about Sekigahara and preceeding Battles of this era by playing the original Kessen on the PS2. As a young lad that game sparked a deep interest in me to research Japanese History. Great Video as always HM.

One of my favorite historical battles, thanks to Kessen as a child. To subvert one's enemy before the battle begins and to turn their own allies against them. It is a thing of beauty.

Very well done. You have done good research. Do more of these. There are many many great strategic battles in the histories of japan.

The Wilhelm scream in the background battle noise was a nice touch

A surprise, but a welcome one 🔥🔥🔥 Are you going to cover more of the Sengokou era in the future?

Glad to see hoc contribution too, one of the most detailed animator for military on RU-vid. Sekighara also where Musashi began his journey :)

Not only the best collaboration in youtube, but it is equally amazing how fast you upload quality contents... I am always expecting something from you at the end of every week. Keep up the good work and lets not slow that pace

Excellent production, as usual. Thank you!

Yes!! Ive been looking forward to another video in the Japan series for ages!

Loving the new graphics and animations! They're awesome. Great video as always!

Great content like always. Continue History March

What a great video for such a complicated matter. I can only guess how difficult it is to try and narrate a story within a small time frame while at the same time create such a wonderful work of art and animations Well done!

Been looking forwards to this one!

I have been waiting for that video since I was 17 when I read SHOGUN for the first time, about 20 years ago thank you so much HISTORY MARCHE

this is the best history channel on youtube that i know. thank u guys. i can only applaud 👏👏👏

I love that yall be interested in showing us this part history but its so many more battles in this period that deserve its own playlist but aye oh well low key learning to do this myself 😁

Coming here right after finishing Shogun with Hiroyuki Sanada. An absolute masterpiece and this amazing video provides the best conclusion on a epic show. Thank you!

What I love about this channel is the ability to expand into the ideology, personal background, reasoning and details of its chosen battles/people. This video lacks what you usually excel at, and I don’t understand why. Furthermore, the Sengoku period can be a pool of perfect content for this channel; it’s a shame you introduced it with it’s final battle.

I knew a lot about this battle. But it seems that I didn't know everything about it. Nice job. This was a fun video.

Great as always Historymarche! Love those collaboration of yours 😃

The concluding battle of "The Shogun." The Eastern and Western armies combined numbered 200,000 men. A total of 25,000 guns and cannons were deployed, and a fierce battle ensued.　There has never been a domestic battle of this scale in Japanese history. We would love to see this battle dramatized.

that was one of the greatest advertisements on RU-vid i've ever seen, arguably rivaling Internet Historian's

I love your content, and love watching videos about this battle. I will say as a minor complaint that the locations of some of the castles like Gifu and Ogaki seem a little bit off, but I suppose for legibility that might have been a necessary change. I live in Ogaki myself so I like to visit the sites of all of these battles, and the one for Sekigahara is worth checking out to get a feel for the scale of things! Keep up the great work!

History Marche you got me big time with that foot mouse ad I was about to start looking at reviews thinking you were serious lmao.

Yes! YES!!!! More of this era and country!!! Love u !

Best thing to watch during quarantine 👍🏻💙👋🏻❤️

This was the closure I needed after Shogun

Thank you for your great videos! They inspired me to start my own channel. Keep up the good work!

I watch your channel as I sleep it's so relaxing for me lol idk why, but thank you plz never stop,

Thank you for the video! It was awesome!

Great stuff ! THX HM & Hoc !!

Tokugawa is that quiet kid in your class.

Historia Civilitas, Kings and Generals, BazBattles, And History Marche, we are blessed with historical battle channels.

I saw add about footmouse lol that was funny🤣🤣 you guys are doing great job

Gorgeous animations, what a pleasure to follow!

Great to have another Historymarche video in quarantine! Out of curiosity, how do you make these wonderful looking maps?

Anybody remember the movie about this? Can't remember the title. Dang commercial got me.

Great job. Although not so interested in Japanese history but your presentation is fantastic as always

Amazing video! I adore the animations! Well done

Thank you for this great work

Thank you for making Quarantine a fun and educational time!

Great raid ad. Best I've seen so far. Lol. Totally had me for a second

Holly Sh*t, i just started watching "Drifters" and now this? Talk about a coincidence!

Great work Sir thank you

20：09 The Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 brought an end to the Sengoku period. It is not completely right. Although Tokugawa Ieyasu built Tokugawa Shogunate in 1603, Toyotomi Hideyori （豊臣秀頼）, the young son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi （豊臣秀吉）, who resumed his father's title of Kampuku, is still a potential rival of Ieyasu. (Ieyasu is one of the five regents assigned by Hideyoshi to overlook Hideyori) So in 1614, Ieyasu found a excuse, and waged a war against Hideyori, beseiged the Osaka Castle, and forced Hideyori and his mother to commit suicide.

Well done and very interesting as always

I love your content ! Grettings from proud nation of Poland !

Oh boy, it's been a while since someone talked about the Japanese. Isn't it kinda ironic that the "loyalist" side of this conflict had 2 generals ignoring their orders to attack and a third one changing sides completely?

Just finished the book "Shogun" by James Clavell and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Japan in this period. It's a really intriguing fictionalized story, although it's based on the actual events of the time.

Awesome episode, more of Sengoku Jidai please!

Too nice video about depth past of Japan 👍👍

Love this channel

Dude I am in love with your voice mate

Nice can't wait to Finish the vid

Super nice video with effective voice of introducing thanks of clear explaining of events

Another fact is that Naomasa Ii's Red Devils were inspired by Masakage Yamagata, one of Shingen's top generals for whom he donned the red armour from the Furinkazan, the Takeda's banner "as fierce as fire". Sadly, he and all other generals were killed at Nagashino

Great video, thanks for sharing...

Great video!

I've been using foot keyboard - with a secondary keyboard under the desk and two important keys mapped so I can use them with my big toes, so my hands didn't need to worry about pressing some buttons that were just out of reach with the rest of the special stuff I wanted to do. Made me much better at some games.

Incredible how far video games have brought me. Getting interested in other cultures. And teached me history from other countries such as japan and china. Thank you capcom Thank you Koei

Shogun 2 Total War is gonna be free to keep on steam from 27 to 1st of may xD

The channel releases videos regularly, with an easy to understand and interesting historical recap. Hope the channel produces more interesting historical videos☺☺

One of the REALLY decisive battles of history.

Nonsense, the legend is that Tokugawa Wolololo’d Hideaki’s forces and won

Siege of Osaka next? Awesome content as always.

When you realise that raid shadow legends is owned by the largest gambling organisation in America that also makes casino slot machines 🤦‍♂️ it's so sad to see so many creators promoting this "game". Great video other than that. Keep it up historymarche!

i remember this battle from playing kessen on playstation back in the day haha.

Wow that's exactly why I love samurai

Never was a fan of japanese history but I will watch because it's Historymarche.

This guy has amazing narration voice I like the music also

Bro I watch yo shid like it’s a TV show and it’s blowing my mind lmao

LOL 2 weeks ago i found your channel I watched most videos and then I was like "so bad they don't have Sekigahara battle"

Extraordinary Animations as always ,

When I saw the foot mouse i said "no way this is real" hahahaha loved the video.
