Around the 9th - 12th centuries, Western Europe and Japan developed new governments very similar to one another. Both Western Europe and Japan made these new governments completely separate from the other. In a time in which both areas could not establish a centralized government, they adapted a new form of government to their liking. They were no able to control local landholders with great amounts of land from becoming local powers and couldn't develop the central government to become strong enough to do away with these local "governments" to form one big one. In the process Feudalism, as historians called it, was formed in Western Europe and Japan. The aspects of Feudalism include:

P- Feudalism's main difference from other governments at the time was the political structure. Instead of a centralized government with one head leader Feudalism incorporated a king or ruler that was in essence at the head, but it had local governments run by great landowners whom ran their area. This included the landowner's own sort of law enforcement. Some Feudal lords even had their own small military groups of soldiers.

E- The economic ways of the Feudal system were vastly differen

A- Art of the time period reflected the religions in the area. Western European artwork resembled the strength of Christianity in Western Europe, while Japanese artwork portrayed Buddha and Buddhist ideals.

Japan Feudalism was quite similar in set up in relation to Western European Feudalism. Japan had an emperor at the head with shogun as the powerful, land-holding elite. Japan during their Feudalism period had a system set up much the same way as Western Europe. At the head was the emperor, with shogun and daimyo under him, samurai, and then the lesser people. The samurai was probably of the greatest importance in Japan during their Feudal period. The samurai operated on a code of ethics called bushido. This code meant that the samurai must protect his noble leader and keep honor in his family. This code got so strong in the samurai that if the samurai disgraced himself he must kill himself to keep honor in his family. Japanese feudalism was strong in Japan and kept a basic governmental system together without causing chaos until a later government would come along and change it.

Major differences in Japanese and Western European feudalism were evident. Main differences were in how each small ruling party was set up. In Western Europe they had high lords, with lower lords, knights, and peasants under them. Each group pledged loyalty to the group above it. In Japan it was an emperor, with shogun, daimyo, and samura
