The Yamato Empire emerged in Japan during the second century. This empire was based on a federation of clans (uji) which formed the nobility and were linked to a hegemonic uji, which was the imperial family. The peasants made up the majority of the population, but it was the poorest sector that should pay taxes. Yamato emperors extended their power to Korea. Through this country, Japan received Chinese influence, manifested in its culture and its administrative system: the state was centralized, professionalized bureaucracy and the emperor became an absolute monarch. By the ninth century, Japanese culture acquired traits and political structure became Yamato. The emperors began to move away from power, they left in the hands of a noble family: the Fujiwara. However, the power of the Fujiwara began to decline since the eleventh century, while the provinces were under the power of the landed nobility supported by the military caste of the samurai. This provoked a civil war that ended in 1185 with the victory of the Minamoto clan. The Minamoto established the shogunate, a dictatorship in command of a shogun (military chief) appointed by the emperor, who was reduced to religious functions. Japanese feudal stage so began under the hegemony of the feudal nobility supported by the samurai.
The medieval India
Among the second centuries. C. and XII d. BC, India was dominated by various States without any controlled all the country. During this period, known as the media realms, India achieved great cultural splendor. One was the Kushan Empire, a cosmopolitan state that had its heyday between the first and third centuries. C. Subsequently, between the fourth to sixth centuries, a dynasty imposed its rule over most of the Indian territory: the Gupta Empire. Under the leadership of Chandragupta II (374-415), the brighter its ruler, the empire reached its maximum political power. However, from the tenth century, the invasions of the White Huns (nomadic people from the steppes of Asia) gradually weakened and destroyed the empire. During the period Gupta, India underwent a period of great cultural development: literature, art and science reached their highest level. Indian mathematicians made progress as the use of zero, the decimal system and numerals symbols, advances were subsequently retaken by the Muslims. After the fall of the Gupta Empire, India was fragmented. On the other hand, since the eighth century, Muslims occupied the country and Islamic culture began to exert its influence throughout the country. By the tenth century, they began to form their own states and founded the Sultanate of Delhi (1206-1536). This domain caused the religious confrontation between Indians, who mostly practiced Hindu religion, and Muslims. In the south, the Vijayanagara (1336-1565) Empire was the last center of Hindu resistance.
