	Tokugawa Ieyasu
		Tokugawa Ieyasu was born Matsudaira Takechiyo, the son of Matsudaira Hirotada (1526-1549), a relatively minor Mikawa lord who had spent much of his young life fending off the military advances of the Oda and the political ploys of the Imagawa.
		While the Tokugawa were allowed to sit out Hideyoshi's invasions of Shikoku and Kyushu, their position on the Tokai Coast did place them in a central role when tensions between Hideyoshi and the Hôjô spiked in the late 1580's.
		Tokugawa was largely staggered out in a valley, with his forward units dangerously exposed to encirclement.

		Places of Tokugawa Ieyasu : From where he was born, where he was held prisoner, to where he left today's Tokyo with.
		When Tokugawa Ieyasu endured his trail of tears, the Tokugawas were members of a small clan with no surplus of resources that time; the Lord of Suruga, Imagawa Yoshimoto, who was also a descendant of the Minamotos, was oh-so-powerful in their eyes.

		Opposition to Tokugawa rule had been growing for a long time, but it was not until the 19th century that several lines, ideological, of attack on the Shogun were available.
		Another point to notice is that the economic weaking of the Tokugawa feudalism which has been serious by the early 18th century and was actually not much worse by the middle of the 19th century.
		Meanwhile, the inability of the Shogunate to punish the unruly clans or to obtain satisfaction from the foreign powers for the attacks made on their nationals and their property had revealed the growing powerlessness of the Shogunate.
