===Beginnings===
The [[Kamakura Period]] came to a close with the end of the [[Kamakura Bakufu]] and the re-establishment of [[Emperor Go-Daigo]]. Go-Daigo instituted the [[Kemmu Restoration]] to revive Imperial power.
However, the military and civil government soon came to a head. [[Ashikaga Takauji]], one of the generals who had placed Go-Daigo back on the throne, disobeyed an Imperial command, and eventually marched on Kyôto. Emperor Go-Daigo fled, supported by [[Nitta Yoshisada]] and others. War raged across the country. Eventually, Go-Daigo submitted to Takauji, in [[1336]], but he would continue to oppose the Ashikaga Bakufu. He eventually fled with his supporters to Yoshino, in the south, while Takauji, had another Emperor installed in Kyôto. Thus began the [[Nanbokucho Period]], or era of Southern and Northern Courts.
