  Kamakura Shogunate - Samurai...

  The rise of the Kamakura Shogunate marks a pivotal moment in Japanese history, transitioning from the aristocratic Heian period to the feudal system dominated by the samurai. This era began with the victory of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who, after the Genpei War (1180-1185), established a new form of governance centered in Kamakura, a small coastal town far from the imperial capital of Kyoto. 
  The Genpei War was a civil conflict between the Taira and Minamoto clans, which ultimately ended with the defeat of the Taira in the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185. Minamoto no Yoritomo, the leader of the Minamoto clan, emerged as the victor, but his triumph was not simply a personal or clan-based success. Yoritomo's victory laid the foundation for a shift in the political landscape of Japan. The Taira had represented the old courtly aristocracy that governed Japan through the imperial system, but the rise of the Minamoto signaled the beginning of samurai dominance and a move toward military rule. 
  In 1192, Yoritomo was granted the title of shogun by the emperor, an act that formalized his military authority. This title, meaning "generalissimo" or "commander of the army," was traditionally given to military leaders in times of war but had never been used as the primary governing title before. This marked the official beginning of the Kamakura Shogunate, a military dictatorship that would rule Japan for over a century. Though the emperor remained the nominal ruler, Yoritomo’s power was based in Kamakura, far from the imperial court, which shifted the balance of power from the capital to the military elite.

  ARGO 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY BEN AFFLECK 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Argo is a historical drama set during the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis. The film follows Tony Mendez, a CIA operative, who devises a daring plan to rescue six American diplomats trapped in Tehran. Posing as a Hollywood film producer scouting locations for a fake sci-fi movie, Mendez teams up with Hollywood professionals to create a cover story. The movie blends suspense, political intrigue, and dark humor, highlighting themes of deception, bravery, and international cooperation. Directed by Ben Affleck, Argo masterfully portrays the tension of a high-stakes operation amidst the backdrop of a volatile political climate. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “Former President Jimmy Carter commented in an interview with Piers Morgan that he believed the film was a 'great drama' and deserved to win the Oscar for Best Picture. However, he pointed out that although 'ninety percent of the contributions to the plan were Canadian,' the movie gives nearly full credit to the American CIA. He suggested that the true hero was Canadian Ambassador Ken Taylor.” 
    
  “For the opening scene, the director of photography handed out 8mm cameras to certain people in the crowd to make the scene feel authentic, as though it was real footage of the riot.” 
    
  “The Iranian official seen on archive footage at the end of the film, issuing threats against Canada for their role in the rescue, was later executed by the regime he served.”
