In this episode, I invite my good friend Ian on to help explain the arrival of Europeans in Japan. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sources Used: "Samurai Battles" By Michael Sharp "War in Japan: 1467 - 1615" by Stephen Turnbull "An Outline History of Japan" by Herbert H.
