guajiro [1.7K]

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.

katrin2010 [14]

After the end of the war, a conference was held in Potsdam, Germany, to  set up  peace  treaties . The countries that fought with Hitler lost  territory  and had to pay  reparations  to the  Allies . Germany and its capital Berlin were  divided  into four parts. The zones were to be controlled by Great Britain, the United States, France and the Soviet Union. The three western  Allies  and the Soviet Union  disagreed  on many things and as time went on Germany was  divided  into two  separate  countries : East Germany , which had a Communist government and West Germany, which was a democratic  state . Berlin was also  divided  into East and West Berlin. Austria was also  occupied  by the four  Allies  from 1945 to 1955.

Treaty imposed on Austria after the war. Transformed Austria into "the tadpole state," with only 25% of its pre-war land and 20% of its pre-war population. Aside from territorial changes, the Anschluss was forbidden, and Austria's armed forces were reduced to 30,000 men.
