Detailed explanation-1: -How did Toyotomi Hideyoshi pacify the other daimyos when he unified Japan under his control? Hideyoshi soothed the vanquished daimyo as Nobunaga had done-with lands and military positions-but he also required them to swear allegiance and to obey him down to the smallest detail.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hideyoshi rose from a humble background to become the country’s military supremo, and he then reorganised the class system, instigated tax reforms, built castles, restored temples, and launched two invasions of Korea.
Detailed explanation-3: -After Hideyoshi’s death resulted in a power struggle among the daimyo, Ieyasu triumphed in the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600 and became shogun to Japan’s imperial court in 1603. Even after retiring, Ieyasu worked to neutralize his enemies and establish a family dynasty that would endure for centuries.
Detailed explanation-4: -In 1600 Ieyasu defeated the Western Army in the decisive battle of Sekigahara, thereby achieving supremacy in Japan. In 1603 Emperor Go-Yōzei, ruler only in name, gave Ieyasu the historic title of shogun (military governor) to confirm his pre-eminence. Japan was now united under Ieyasu’s control.
