Feudalism was a combination of legal and military customs in medieval Europe that flourished between the 9th and 15th centuries. Broadly defined, it was a way of structuring society around relationships derived from the holding of land in exchange for service or labour.
Feudalism in Japan lasted from the 12th until the 19th century. Its military-led warrior culture emerged partly in response to the threat of Mongol invasions in the 13th century. After Japan defeated the Mongols, a sense of national unity developed and the Japanese felt their culture was superior.
