Answer:

Shoguns were military leaders in Japan who had absolute power and passed their power down through their families. The shogun ruled Japan and the daimyo were the wealthy landowners who promised their loyalty to the shogun. The daimyo gave land to samurai in exchange for their loyalty and protection. The Tokugawa period was marked by internal peace, political stability, and economic growth. Social order was officially frozen, and mobility between classes (warriors, farmers, artisans, and merchants) was forbidden. The samurai warrior class came to be a bureaucratic order in this time of lessened conflict.
