The growing incompetence of the Ashikaga Shogunate to effectively manage Japan set the stage for the Onin Wars. More a figurehead government concerned with appearances and the flourishing of the aristocracy than a stable government, the Ashikaga were easily swept from power. As warring clans rushed to fill the resulting power vacuum, conflict raged across the land; thus, this era has also been referred to as the Era of Provincial Wars. The Onin War would last for a decade, until the country was governed by small military factions known as Daimyos. Two key Daimyos played a major role towards unifying the entire country as it had been before the wars: Oda Nobunaga (1534-82), and Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1536-98). Although the country would not be brought under full unification until the founding of the Tokugawa Shogunate, three quarters of a century later by Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542-1616) in 1600.
