Monarchy
Monarchy
Feudal System/
Weak Monarchy
In Ming China, the
Chinese Emperor was
the most powerful
figure and he ruled
with absolute power
In Chosŏn Korea, the
Korean King had
absolute authority, but
other government
officials were able to
influence him
In Tokugawa Japan,
the Japanese Emperor
was more celebrity
than ruler
Instead, powerful
military families
fought for control of
the land and
government
Comparing it to the Hunger Games
Like the Hunger Games, Japan was divided into different factions or
districts that competed with one another for power and influence
