Summary Of Indepth Fedualism

Feudalism is an idea that was established during the development of Western societies. Feudalism is an political system that emerged from weak central poltical and government structures. they lacked not only resources but a foundation as well. This trend can be seen in Japanese societies as well. Feudalism depended on the participants in the system which would the lords who had control of the peasants. Also it depended on the idea of military values and how they encouraged physical courage, daily alliances and ritualized combat. these ideas did not help support the success of western and Japanese societies because it led to war which took more money from the masses and how it made the merging samurai class (Japanese) increasingly difficult to control. so in theory when feudalism stopped it help stop irreversible problems that could have led societies into the Dark Ages.
