Feudalism Summary Feudalism was developed almost everywhere in the world due to the weak centralized governments that ruled that land. In its basic form, there was a leader that would take charge of creating alliances and demanding respect from the lower class and this would repeat and repeat until it reached the bottom, or the masses. Western feudalism became extremely formal as there were written contracts to promise loyalty. The Japanese would have feudalistic system where the allliances were not written. This would ultimately lead to the different development of the two areas as the western European states would solidify their borders off of the alliances made in feudalism and the written alliances would lead to the introduction of Constitutions. In Japan, the feudal system would create the culture of respect. Had feudalism continued, the masses would have revolted. Feudalism inherently leads to revolution due to the abuses it has to the masses.
