【教科書では教えてくれない】9割の日本人が誤解している「織田信長」の真の姿 #織田信長

Oda Nobunaga. When many people hear this name, they probably picture a ruthless and terrifying revolutionary of the Sengoku period. However, if Nobunaga was merely a cruel tyrant, why did so many people risk their lives to follow him? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ▶ Subscribe here https://www.youtube.com/@rekishi-no-t...

Please subscribe so you don't miss anything. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ In this video, we explore the true nature of Oda Nobunaga, whom 90% of Japanese people may misunderstand, through four mysteries. His youth, when he was called a fool. Why didn't he bow to an enemy ten times his size at Okehazama? Who was the real enemy who burned down Mount Hiei? And what was the true aim behind the Rakuichi-Rakuza (free market) system? Nobunaga's attempt to dismantle wasn't tradition itself, but rather entrenched vested interests, militaristic religious forces, and systems that hindered free trade. However, his methods were extremely harsh. We will explore another side of Nobunaga—neither a tyrant nor a saint—by tracing historical documents.
