Siege of Kamakura

Siege of Kamakura

The city of Kamakura, in what is now Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture, was besieged twice:

*The Siege of Kamakura (1333), which marked the end of the power of the Hōjō clan, who had dominated the regency. The city was attacked and destroyed by the forces of Nitta Yoshisada

*The Siege of Kamakura (1526), which was a serious psychological defeat for the Late Hōjō clan, because of the connections to the bitter defeat of their namesakes two centuries earlier. This battle took place towards the beginning of a seventeen-year conflict between the Late Hōjō and the Uesugi family over control of the Kantō region
