ThE oNiN WaRs: He Did it First!

            - Many people used the conflict in House Hatayama
               as an excuse to resolve old feuds.  Many feuds, old   
               and new, sprang up all over Japan.
           - The Daimyo saw this as a chance to violate the
               Emperor's order that prohibited battles between the
               Daimyo.
           - Two Daimyo, Hosokawa Katsumoto and Yamana
              Souzen were major powers during this war; they
              caused much of the fighting.
               - The fighting would stop when one powerful
                Daimyo, Oda Nobunaga, captures Kyoto and
                 siezes power.
