Samurais v.s. Knights
Knights and samurais were both superior warriors. They were skillful in their fighting and were powerful. They were both remarkable, but there are many reasons to why the samurais would win if they ever had to battle one another. Although they both have many similarities, the documents we’ve read in the DBQ and “The Warrior” video we watched in class both share evidence that can help back up the fact that the samurais have an advantage. One advantage they have was the way they wore their armory. In document D, it says, “A knight’s armor could weigh 40 to 60 pounds”. Their armor was made of heavy metals, which may weigh them down and will make it difficult for them to fight. Their fighting will not be steady and smooth.
