Clans of Japan in 1570 on a Map

I'm not an expert on Japanese history either, but I used to play a game called "Pokemon Conquest." The idea was basically a bunch of famous Japanese warlords (like Oda Nobunaga, Tokugawa Ieyasu, etc.) had armies of Pokemon instead of samurai and would battle each other to control the region. I also watched a short video series on YouTube about the Sengoku period once. Even then, there was a lot I had never heard of when I researched this quiz. I'm guessing only a hardcore Japanese history buff will be able to ace it :) but for everyone else it's a good learning opportunity about an interesting period in history!

Lol, it's fine if you just got one. Like I said, this is a pretty obscure topic, and I'm not expecting a lot of people to do well. The map is nice, but it really wasn't hard to make--all I really did was download it from Wikipedia, then change some labels/colors. The hardest part of making this quiz was actually managing type-ins. Still, thanks for the nom! :)

As for the "Middle Ages" thing, I agree that it's a misnomer. Many places, especially in Asia, still advanced a lot during this period, and Japan is no exception. And when Ieyasu (from the Tokugawa clan you saw above) finished uniting Japan in the early 1600s, it led to a long, peaceful era of prosperity for the islands. Pretty cool, huh?
