Editing Ainu Wars (section)

=== [[Shakushain's Revolt]] ===
This revolt occurred in the middle of a battle for fishing rights in {{W|Shizunai District, Hokkaido|Shizunai}} between two forces, {{W|Menasunkur Ainu|Menasunkur}} and {{W|Sumunkur Ainu|Sumunkur}}. Shakushain tried to call on the Matsumae clan to provide weapons, but one of the messengers died of smallpox at this time. False information that the Matsumae clan had poisoned one of the messengers became rampant, and Shakushain led his army to attack the clan. The Muromachi shogunate was unable to control the sudden situation, and in the end, a total of 356 Japanese were killed by Shakushain's forces. In addition, all the victims killed were non-combatants. In the end, Shakushain and Menasunkur surrendered to the Muromachi shogunate and were eventually assassinated by Matsumae warriors.
