  Kemmu restoration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kemmu Restoration (建武の新政; Kemmu no shinsei) was a period of Japanese history that occurred from 1333 to 1336 AD.
By the early 14th century the Kamakura bakufu (military government) of the Hojo family was in disarray: the efforts needed to repel the abortive invasions from the Mongol Empire in 1274 and 1281 had been costly, and the shogun had been unable to reward provincial leaders who had rallied to the banner.
The Kemmu Restoration was a failure, but it kept alive the ideology of imperial rule, which finally succeeded in bringing centuries of shogunal rule to an end in 1868 with the Meiji Restoration.
