8. Meiji of Japan
Early in the reign of Emperor Meiji, Japan’s government was focused on modernizing the country’s economy. The prestigious wealth of Japan was primarily agricultural, with only 20 percent of its land reliable for harvesting crops and valuable exports like tea and silk.
The “Meiji Restoration Renewal” was a process of events that led to amazing changes in Japan’s political and social structure. It occurred during the beginning of the Meiji Era. The restoration was a direct response to the opening of Japan to Western trade by the arrival of the United States Navy. Emperor King Meiji distributed his extravagant wealth effectively. He freed farmers from restrictions on land use, allowing them to grow whatever they wanted, and granted people the right to buy and sell land.
