Which Japanese warlord founded the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603?
Correct!
Tokugawa Ieyasu founded the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603.
Tokugawa Ieyasu was appointed shōgun in 1603, thereby founding the Tokugawa shogunate, which shaped Japan for more than 250 years. He had consolidated his power above all after his decisive victory at the Battle of Sekigahara in 1600. The Tokugawa period brought Japan a long phase of relative internal stability and ended only in 1868 with the Meiji Restoration.
