The ENTIRE History of the Samurai | From Mounted Archers to the Last Charge (Documentary)

They lived by the sword and died by a code. For 700 years, the samurai were the most feared warriors on Earth — masters of the katana, bound by honor, loyal unto death. In this documentary, we tell the REAL story: how farm boys became warlords, how the shoguns ruled Japan for seven centuries, how the Mongol invasions were stopped by "divine wind," how three warlords unified a shattered country, the legend of Miyamoto Musashi — undefeated in 60 duels — and why the last samurai charged into rifle fire in 1877. 📖 Chapters: 00:00 Intro: They Lived by the Sword 00:33 Origins: From Farmers to Warriors 01:33 The Shogunate: 700 Years of Military Rule 02:36 The Warring States: Unification 03:40 Musashi: The Sword Saint 04:35 The Last Samurai: 1877 05:34 Outro: The Legacy of Bushido 🔔 Subscribe for the next episode: Genghis Khan & the Mongol Empire. 👍 If you enjoyed this video, please like and subscribe — new episodes every week.
