Politics and world events

Japan

  • After a long series of defeats, the Taira clan retreats to Yashima on the Shikoku coast on the Seto Inland Sea . Here they have a fortress and an improvised palace for the underage Emperor Antoku and the throne insignia of Japan that they were able to take into their possession earlier in the year. Minamoto no Yoshitsune arrives in Shikoku with a small force of only about 100 men. Most of his ships have been destroyed or lost in a storm. However, he is being supplied with supplies by an ally, Kajiwara Kagetoki . As the Taira anticipate a sea attack, Minamoto no Yoshitsune has a fire lit in the rear of the enemy to make the Taira believe that a large force is approaching from the land. They give up the fortress and palace and withdraw with the emperor and the throne regalia on their ships.
  • March 22 : The Minamoto samurai family triumphs in the Battle of Yashima , but the majority of the Taira escape to Dan-no-ura by ship.
  • April 25 : With the decisive victory of the Minamoto over the Taira in the sea ​​battle of Dan-no-ura , the Gempei War in Japan , which is now firmly in the hands of the Minamoto, ends . Emperor Antoku drowns, the imperial sword, one of the three imperial regalia of Japan, sinks in the sea.
  • The Kamakura period ( Kamakura shogunate ) in Japan begins. Minamoto no Yoritomo becomes the most powerful man in the state, but comes into conflict with his younger brother Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Despite several oaths of loyalty to his brother, Yoshitsune is sentenced to death on October 9th .
