Почему христианство чуть не уничтожило Самураев?

Seventeenth century. Japan lowers the Iron Curtain for 250 years, having slaughtered 37,000 people beforehand. What geopolitical threat compelled the Tokugawa Shogunate to resort to such cruelty, and why was Christianity recognized as the vanguard of colonial conquest? In this video, we examine a little-known and bloodiest chapter of Japanese history – the Shimabara Rebellion led by 16-year-old Amakusa Shiro. You'll learn how Portuguese Jesuits nearly subjugated the southern daimyo, why Protestants betrayed their fellow believers to trade with the samurai, and how the Tokugawa counterintelligence system operated: from the total surveillance of "goningumi" to the horrific psychological tests of "fumi-e" and torture of "anatsuri." Was the closure of Japan (the Sakoku policy) a necessary attempt to preserve independence or a brutal genocide? Share your thoughts in the comments!
