Internal political conflict within the Liberal Democratic Party / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kaku-Fuku war (Japanese: 角福戦争, romanized: Kakufukusensō) was an internal conflict within the Liberal Democratic Party between factions in support of Kakuei Tanaka and Takeo Fukuda. Lasting from 1970 to 1987, the rivalry between the faction heads dominated the LDP's internal politics, spanning multiple ministries and illustrated the strength of machine politics in Japan.
