Samurai Vs Knights
Knights VS Samurai’s
If there was a battle between the army of Knights and Samurai, who would win the battle?

I believe that the knights would have a greater victory of winning a battle against the samurai’s. The samurai’s have of course many advantages over knights, but I think that the knights would also have greater advantages over the samurai’s.

Why do I believe that the Knights would have a greater chance of winning a battle against the samurai’s you may ask?
Purely because when it comes to knights they start usually start training from the day they were born. While the samurai’s training starts at an early age, men that are training to become knights are leaving their homes at a young age of seven years young, even though they have

    In document C1 written by PBS says "The rigorous training of samurai began when they were children. In their schooling they had physical training and learned poetry and spiritual discipline. The young warriors studied Kendo, the moral code of the samurai, and Zen Buddhism." This helps the samurai because since they were being taught Kendo, which is the code, that helps them understand what they should be doing and why. Another piece of evidence that supports this claim is written in document C1 by PBS. It says "Girls also received martial arts training. Samurai women did not usually fight on the battlefield, but they were prepared to defend their homes against invaders." This is a good thing because girls actually get training too. So if they get invaded by bad people, the girls can be ready to fight…

    Samurai didn’t wear armor or any protection on their right arm so they could easily draw their bow without any trouble(Document C). This made it easier for them to kill a knight or anyone who they were in conflict with. This was also very dangerous because, their arm would be vulnerable to anything that it came in contact with which then you would have one less arm. Their armor created a “shell” that provided both mobility and protection(Document C). A knight’s armor was really heavy to move as quickly, but they were very well protected from anything. This “Shell” like armor that the samurai wore made it easier to move and they were also protected. For these reasons that even though a samurai has good protection and great mobility, doesn’t mean he couldn’t…

    First of all, the samurai’s loyalty to their master was different than the knight’s. For example, in document B by Catharina Blomberg, she stated that “loyalty towards the feudal lord in Japan was hereditary…” This means that the duty was passed on from father to son for many generations in the family, and the sons would have no choice but to be a samurai because it was apart of the agreement between the lord and the samurai. However, the knights had a different way of things.…

    Samurai were a little higher up than Knights in the feudal social order. In the social order in feudal Japan if you were a Samurai you were a warrior who owed loyalty and military service to Dalmyos for land or regular payment. All of the Samurai plus their family made up about ten percent of Japans population. Now, Knights on the other hand were warriors who owed loyalty and military service to a lord for land. There were about twelve thousand Knights in England and Normany France in the twelfth century. (Documents A, B)…

    Since Japan had an emperor, feudalism developed because the emperor united the clans. Before feudalism, Japan was inhabited by many different clans. Clans fought each other frequently. Lives were lived in fear of attack. People were unhappy before feudalism and they started fighting for land. Feudalism gave samurai land. Rich landowners gave land for labor and crops. Feudalism is the bond of loyalty between a lord and those to whom he has given land.…

    On the way to the Holy Land, the knights came across Jews living in Germany. These knights promptly murdered these Jews and stole their belongings. Another blatant example of self-advancement is the Fourth Crusade. When the Fourth Crusade was commenced the method of transportation for the knights was to be by boat. When the crusaders were on course for the Holy Land they decided to stop in Constantinople. In Constantinople, the knights sacked and looted the city (of Christians) and set up the Latin Empire of Constantinople. The knights always took the closest and most convenient way of attaining the things they wanted proving that they would attack anybody for their desires, not just specifically the…
