Detailed explanation-1: -The shoguns maintained stability in many ways, including regulating trade, agriculture, foreign relations, and even religion. The political structure was stronger than in centuries before because the Tokugawa shoguns tended to pass power down dynastically from father to son.
Detailed explanation-2: -After the fall of the Ashikaga Shogunate in 1573, rival daimyo fought for control of Japan. Tokugawa Ieyasu defeated his rivals and was granted the title of shogun by the emperor. He started a shogunate that lasted for over 250 years.
