My chosen Time Period was Edo Japan, this is just an introduction into that time period:
The Edo or Tokugawa Time period started in March 24, 1603- May 3, 1868 lasting over 200 years, It began by the first shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa, who unified the country after the decisive battle of Sekigahara in 1600. Ieyasu established a new government in Edo in 1603.
A small town until then, was transformed into a huge political city by aggressive public works including land reclamation, new canals, and clean water supply systems. The Tokugawa family ruled the country in the next 264 years (15 shoguns). Ieyasu Tokugawa was defied and worshipped in Nikko Toshogu Shrine (even today).
