It is also known as feudal system. In the legal and social systems developed in Europe from the 8th century to the 9th century, the vassals were required to give territory and serve them under war in the war. Vasalage, the territory

Social systems and societies such as medieval Japan and Egypt of Ptolemy are similar to feudalism of medieval Europe.

In most medieval times the system of obligations of the lords and their subjects was bound in Europe. In theory, the king owns all or most of its land, giving it to his major aristocrat in exchange for their loyalty and military service. The nobles occupied the land and the peasants including the farmers were allowed to cultivate in exchange for the farmers' labor and part of the produce. Under the feudal system, people are born with a permanent social status. (See the territory and vassals)

Today the term feudalism is sometimes used as a generic term for a series of social relationships that are not progressive or incompatible with modern society.

Feudalism was a set of laws and military practices set between the 9th and 15th centuries or the Middle Ages. Feudalism is known for its longstanding existence in Europe and Japan. It is said that the concept of feudalism has established a relationship between the rest of society and the landlord (more well known are European lords and Japanese general officers). European and Japanese farmers work on farms and lands produced by the Lord or Dimios. Farmers in both areas are juxtaposed with the land and live on the land. However, farmers in Japan are divided into several subcategories. The highest rank of farmers is farmers. A farmer who owns his / her land has a higher rank than a farmer who does not own the land. Craftsmen, or craftsmen, ranks second only to farmers. They use wood and metal, and some become famous Samurai sword makers. They think that they make a living from the work of others, so the merchant ranks the lowest

Feudalism is a social form based on land ownership. Unlike today's farmers, vassals under the feudal system will naturally train their lords. In exchange for military protection, the Lord provided farmers with food, crops, crafts, respects and other services to landlords. The mansions in the feudalism field are often multi generations and the farmer's family may have cultivated their land for generations. Between the fifteenth and the sixteenth century, a new economic system emerged and began to replace feudalism. Capitalism is characterized by open competition in the free market where production means are private. Exploration of the Americas of Europe is the driving force of the development of capitalism. Introduction of foreign metals, silk, spices stimulated great business activities in European society
