What are the difference of feudal japan and Europe?
The differences in feudal Japan to feudal Europe are very noticeable.1. Culture & BeliefsFeudal JapanIn feudal times Japan's major religion was Buddhism and Confucianism, they believed in honour and loyalty. This can be seen in the samurai, the knights of Japan in the feudal ages. Samurai were willing to die for their nation and commit seppuku (ritual suicide) to keep their honour rather than be killed or captured by their enemy.Feudal EuropeThe religion in Feudal Europe was Christianity. In feudal times Europe was very superstitious and the land was governed by the church. The church's laws were mainly based on their views of The Bible. People who showed any signs of witchcraft were sent to be executed. Things like black cats were seen as bad luck. All these things were around during feudal times in Europe.2. WarfareFeudal JapanFeudal Japan's warfare was different to Europe's because it was greatly influenced by their beliefs. As mentioned before Samurai's would commit seppuku (ritual suicide) to keep their honour. Their swords such as the katanas were different to the knight's sword. A samurai's armour would also be different; samurai would wear masks in an attempt to scare their foe. They would have less metl covering them than a knight would as well. Feudal Japan also had castles, at the beginning though they were made of wood and later became stone because of fire.Feudal EuropeIn Feudal times Europe had knights in shining armour. These knights would not suicide in the face of defeat but they would pray at least three times a day to God. They were meant to be good Christians and helpers to the needy. Unlike the Samurai they wore a lot of armour, the feudal 'tank'. A normal foot soldier stood no chance to a knight. Feudal Europe also had castles similar to Japan's.But both feudal Japan & Europe shared similarities as well. Their hierarchy was quite similar, both divided into two groups: Nobles & Peasants.
