Japanese: 関ヶ原の戦 - せきがはらのたたかい

In 1600, Tokugawa Ieyasu and Ishida Mitsunari fought at Sekigahara in Mino for hegemony after the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Ishida's side included daimyo such as Mori, Ukita, Uesugi, and Shimazu, while Tokugawa's side included daimyo such as Kato, Date, and Kuroda. Ishida's Western Army numbered over 80,000, while Tokugawa's Eastern Army numbered over 100,000. The battle to divide the country began on the morning of September 15th, and in the afternoon, the Western Army suffered a crushing defeat due to the betrayal of Kobayakawa Hideaki. Ishida, Konishi Yukinaga, and others were captured and executed, the daimyo who supported the Western Army were demoted or had their fiefs reduced, Toyotomi Hideyori was reduced to a single daimyo who ruled Settsu, Kawachi, and Izumi, and the way was opened for the establishment of the Tokugawa government.

1600年豊臣秀吉の死後の覇権をかけて徳川家康と石田三成が美濃(みの)関ヶ原で戦った合戦。石田方には，毛利・宇喜多・上杉・島津など，徳川方には加藤・伊達(だて)・黒田などの諸大名がつき，石田方の西軍は８万余，徳川方の東軍は10万余であった。天下を分けての戦いは９月15日朝から始まり，午後になって小早川秀秋の内応で西軍は惨敗。石田，小西行長らは捕らえられて斬られ，西軍に荷担した諸大名は改易や減封され，豊臣秀頼は摂津(せっつ)，河内(かわち)，和泉を領する一大名に転落，徳川政権成立への道が開かれた。
