Shogunate Empire Vs Polynesian Expansion

I’m convinced that the Shogunate Empire is enormously more advanced than the Polynesian Expansion. They are more advanced in weaponry as they have superior weapons, also in armies or war tactics as they can build bigger and stronger armies and attack and flank their opponents. Lastly they are more advanced in building or architecture as they built more impressive buildings that had great defences to protect their castles or temples.

To begin, the Shogunate’s were vastly superior in weaponry as they had guns, metal swords, bows and metal tipped spears. This meant that the shogunate warriors could attack from long range or fight close up with devastating results.

Creating buildings to a tremendously higher standard than the Polynesian expansion were. Intelligent people know that the Shogunate’s have built impressive buildings since the Shogunate period. The Shogunate’s built breathtaking temples, castles, halls and houses. These buildings were made primarily made out of wood and stones. Japanese castles were built in a variety of environments, but all were constructed within variations of well-defined architecture. Japanese castles were almost always built on top of a hill or mound, and often an artificial mound would be created for this purpose. This not only aided in the defence of the castle, but also allowed it a great view over the surrounding land, and made the castle look more impressive and intimidating to its attackers. Mountain castles were the most common, and provided the best natural defences for the castle. But a number of measures were also invented to keep attackers off the walls and to stop them from climbing the castle. This included pots of hot sand poured onto attackers climbing the wall, guns built onto the walls to shoot down the attackers and arrow slits from which defenders could fire at attackers while still enjoying cover. The Polynesians never used man made materials, using only materials that were naturally found. These materials were a range of leaves, wood and plants. But all these materials are highly flammable, if dried out. This makes it easy for attackers to destroy castles, temples and houses by just lighting them on fire and letting them burn. This makes it incredibly hard for the Polynesian’s to defend their treasures against incoming invaders as their castles can be burnt down with ease. Letting the invaders break through the castle by burning holes in the walls or roofs and running through the walls or dropping down into the castle below and creating havoc for the
