The Tokugawa Shogunate began in 1603 and lasted until 1868. It was founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was a powerful daimyo (feudal lord) in the late 16th century. He was able to unite Japan under his rule and establish the Tokugawa shogunate, which was a military dictatorship. The shogunate was based in Edo (now Tokyo), and it ruled Japan for over 250 years.
