Chōshū (domena feudalna)


Chōshū (Japanese: 長 州) is a feudal domain in Japan, now the northwestern part of Yamaguchi prefecture. The hanoi capital was in The Hague.

Chōshū, since the beginning of the so-called 645. Reform of the Taika era, flourished under the rule of Ōuchi. During the Kamakura period (1192-1333), the Chōshū was transferred into the hands of the Mōri family. The period of the Tokugawa government (1603-1867), despite unprecedented world peace for many years, was characterized by a constantly deepening economic crisis, which did not miss Chōshū. In the 1930s his debt doubled his annual gross income. One of the causes of the crisis was the haunting Chōshū floods, causing a sharp rice shortage and sometimes famine. The reforms introduced during the Meiji period brought about improvement, and the Chōshū became the center of the precepts of "honor the emperor, expel the barbarians" (sonnō-jōi), and then move towards the destruction of the baku (tōbaku-undō).

In 1864, a samurai of the Chōshū horde fought against the siogun loyal to the forces of Aizu and Satsuma (the so-called Kinmon incident). In the same year, the shogun organized a criminal expedition against Chōshū (Chōshū-seibatsu or Chōshū-seitō.) It ended with the capitulation of the han.

In 1865, the hanky bureaucrats were removed from power (the Chōshū-Chōshū-ishin revival). In 1866 Siogun announced another criminal expedition against Chōshū. This time, however, it ended with a failure of the bakufu. In the same 1866, an alliance between hitherto hated Satsum and Chōshū (Satchō-dōmei, also known as Satchō-meiyaku or Satchō-rengō) was formed. As a result of the pressure of the combined forces of Satsuma and Chōshū against the Bakufu, the return of political power to the emperor (taisei-hōkan) by the 15th Tokugawa shogun, Yoshinobu in 1867 and the reestablishment of the emperor on January 3, 1868 (ōsei-fukko). Meiji and Taishō politicians coming from Chōshū: Han Chōshū entered the Yamaguchi Prefecture as a result of the abolition of the hanoi and the establishment of the prefecture (haihan-chiken) in 1871.
