Inhaltsangabe

From the CORE KNOWLEDGE FOUNDATION, which brought you the popular “What Your ___ Grader Needs to Know” series. CZARS AND SHOGUNS: EARLY RUSSIA AND FEUDAL JAPAN is a single volume divided into two separate sections on (1) Early Russia, and (2) Feudal Japan. The first section tells the story of how Russia grew to a large country ruled by powerful czars, including Ivan III (the Great), Ivan IV (the Terrible), Peter the Great, and Catherine the Great. The second section explores Japan’s geography as an island nation and traces the rise of powerful feudal leaders called shoguns, and the role of the soldier-nobles called samurai. Chapters explore how Japan remained closed to most outsiders until European powers compelled the Japanese to open their doors for trade. The book also introduces two important religions in Japanese history, Buddhism and Shinto. Paperback. 102 pages. ** Part of the CORE KNOWLEDGE HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY (CKHG) series in world and American history and geography, integrating topics in civics and the arts.
