Often called the greatest samurai battle in history, Sekigahara pitted Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army against the Western Coalition loyal to the Toyotomi clan. The defection of several western daimyo during the battle turned the tide decisively in Tokugawa's favor. The victory allowed Ieyasu to establish the Tokugawa Shogunate, which ruled Japan in relative peace for over 260 years.
