Ok, so..
What I will do: Describe the nature of the Japanese government between the Gempei wars and the Onin War. What was the nature of the Japanese society, and economy during the period of the daimyos.
The Japanese government between the Gempei wars adn the Onin Wars consisted of the Minamoto and the Taira. Eventually the Minamoto gained control and destroyed the Taira and the Taira house faction. The society and economy of Japan suffered during these times of war. Battles raged within Japan and destroyed many farmlands that were a major part in Japan’s economy. The Minamoto leader started to kill members of his own family and his powerful generals in fear that someone would kill him and take his spot. This crippled the Minamoto and started the feudal age in Japan.
The American civil war. The south is the blue, the north is red. The south didn’t need to capture any Northern Territory, whereas the north wanted to take over the south so that they could keep the states united, hence the Union.

The Scientific Revolution was one of the factors that caused the Enlightenment. However, it depends on which entities of the Enlightenment you are focusing on.
When we think of the Enlightenment, we tend to think of philosophers first. This is because the Enlightenment was not a purely scientific movement, but more of a wide-ranged intellectual time. Ideas from thinkers like Galileo, Copernicus, Isaac Newton, etc, were produced in the Scientific Revolution, and merely built off of in the Enlightenment.
You see, thinkers during the Enlightenment wanted to question the many beliefs that were set during the Dark Ages, which also meant going up against large, powerful opposition, like the Catholic Church. The ideas that came out of the Scientific Revolution gave Enlightenment thinkers the facts they would use when creating their theories. Armed with these facts, they could debunk the ridiculous theories that others had set in the past.
So finally, to answer your question, it is probable that the Enlightenment would have started nevertheless, but it is unlikely that the ideas of its thinkers would have made such an impact without the Scientific Revolution.
Hope it helps!
