Toyotomi+Hideyoshi

__**Toyotomi Hideyoshi**__ Toyotomi Hideyoshi was one of Oda Nobunaga's generals. He remained loyal to Nobunaga even after other generals betrayed Nobunaga, leading to his defeat and causing him to commit seppuku. Hideyoshi set out to exact revenge on the traiters. He controlled most of Japan by 1590. Howver, Hideyoshi was over-ambitious. He decided to try to conquer Korea in order to use it as a place from which to launch an assault on China. He was killed in battle in Korea in 1592.
