Japanese military, social, political and economic reforms

01 . 05. 2003 Social Studies Japanese military, social, political and economic reforms in the Meijer restoration Military: In 1872 the Japanese military started to use conscription. This is same as drafting in the U. S. A. All conscripts had to serve a three year period in military service, after which they were put to reserves for four years. This system was introduced by Yamaha Oratorio, and the next year this same man set up the Japanese Imperial army.

He favored and used the army style of Germany, and the naval style of the British. Some years later the Samurai system was abolished totally... Some Samurai were so upset, that they started a revolt. Economic: The Baku was ended on 1868. In 1871 the Dynamo's were also dismissed, their land redistributed into smaller parts... Unlike the samurai, the Dainty received a large pension to compensate the loss of their land. In 1872 there was a land redistribution program.

This was to become a more solid method than the previous system which relied totally on the price of rice... A straight 3% tax was levied on the land. The government also started to sell industries which used to make Military hardware to the private buyers... These people later grew to become the Subtask, which could be described as big industrial empires controlled by one family. Political: Feudalism in Japan was completely abolished during Meijer rule. Like most of Japan, also the parliament was altered heavily.

Japanese government sent Tit Heroism to study the European parliament systems, and he especially favored the one of Britain. So the Japanese parliament, Diet, is based on the British parliament. It consists of Prime minister, upper and lower house. Heroism himself became the first prime minister and the upper house was made of the former nobility and the Dynamo's. The lower house was chosen by the people. Also a privy council was set up to protect and review the constitution, its sessions were lead by the Emperor Meijer himself...

Social:Len 1872 it was ordered that all children, boys and girls both, were to attend primary school for six years. After this the girls would go home and learn more about life from their mothers, when some of the more successful boys on the other hand were allowed to go and study in a high school and then to university... Extremely high standards were expected, as students also had to learn a foreign language. Japanese military, social, political and economic reforms in the Meijer restoration. By Least_De_linocuts
