The Battle of Sekigahara (Modern Japanese: 関ヶ原の戦い; historical Japanese: 關ヶ原の戰ひ, Sekigahara no Tatakai?), popularly known as the Realm Divide (天下分け目の戦い; Tenka Wakeme no Tatakai), was a decisive battle on September 15, 1600 (on the ancient Chinese calendar, October 21 on the modern calendar) that cleared the path to the Shogunate for Tokugawa Ieyasu. Though it would take three more years for Tokugawa to consolidate his position of power over the Toyotomi clan and the daimyo, Sekigahara is widely considered to be the unofficial beginning of the Tokugawa bakufu, the last shogunate to control Japan.
