Explanation:
oder die "Zeit der kämpfenden Provinzen"

With the Onin War (1467-1477), this volatile situation exploded, and within a few years after the start of this war, practically every province in Japan was wracked by warfare, thus beginning what the Japanese call "sengoku jidai," meaning "the age of the country at war," or Warring States Japan. This period was a long protracted struggle for domination by individual daimyo and would result in a powerful struggle between various houses to dominate the whole of Japan. What would emerge from this struggle are three individuals who would become the three great heroes of Japan—Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu—who in the latter part of the sixteenth century devoted their martial energies to the unification of Japan under a single powerful house.

Okay, okay, so ist das, wenn man nicht den Kontext liest, sondern nur die Frage (eine Periode der Warring States gab es auch in Japan, aber das interessiert hier überhaupt nicht)..

Also: Vergessen!!
