During which time period did the Tokugawa Shogunate govern Japan?

The Tokugawa Shogunate governed Japan from 1603 to 1868, a period known as the Edo period. This era was marked by a feudal system under the leadership of the shogunate, which established a centralized government that promoted peace, stability, and economic growth after centuries of civil strife. The Tokugawa family was able to maintain control by implementing strict social orders and isolating Japan from foreign influence, leading to over two hundred years of relative peace and prosperity.

The periods represented by the other choices do not correlate with the Tokugawa Shogunate. The years from 1185 to 1333 signify the Kamakura period, where the first shogunate in Japan was established, while 1333 to 1600 refer to the Muromachi period, which was characterized by the Ashikaga shogunate. The era from 1868 to 1912 corresponds to the Meiji Restoration, when Japan transitioned from isolation to modernization and imperial expansion, ending the feudal system that had been intact during the Tokugawa era.
