The О̄uetsu Reppan Dо̄mei (奥羽越列藩同盟, Alliance of О̄uetsu domains), also known in English as the Northern Alliance, was a coalition formed by Japanese feudal domains during the Boshin War in 1868. The term Ōuetsu is derived from the abbreviations for the three provinces in which almost all of the member domains were located: Mutsu (Ō), Dewa (U), and Echigo (Etsu). The alliance was both military and political in nature, and was primarily established to combat the newly restored imperial government.
