How did the Japanese Shogun react when the religion of the Europeans influenced the people of Japan?
As a result to the mass change in religion, the Shoguns banned it from the country due to their intolerant behaviour to Shinto and Buddhism. Christianity also promoted the sale of Japanese people as slaves overseas. In 1597, Hideyoshi announced a more serious banning and executed 26 Christians in Nagasaki as a warning to try harden the country's anti-Christian stance. There was also a rebellion to fight for Christianity but the rebels lost and the Shogun executed all the Christians involved in the rebellion. After the rebellion, Christianity was only practiced in small pockets in secrecy.
