Question

In one or two paragraphs, suggest a possible reason that similar systems of feudalism emerged in Europe and Japan. Describe why professional warriors were important in both societies.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Feudal Japanese and European societies were built on a system of hereditary classes. The nobles were at the top, followed by warriors, with tenant farmers or serfs below. Called knights in Europe and samurai in Japan, the warriors served local lords. In both cases, the warriors were bound by a code of ethics.
