History[]
Following the fall of the Shogunate in the lower three islands (Kyushu, Shikoku, Honshu), the Tokugawa forces had fled to Hokkaidō. During the latter part of the Boshin War, the Tokugawa forces managed to win the Battle of Hakodate and achieve a close victory against the Imperial Forces. Following the defeat, the Meiji Government finally recognised the Ezo Republic, and a treaty ending the war was signed.
