Changes made by the United States after World War II affected the Agriculture alter system in Japan by

Answer: allowing farmers to buy the land they farmed.

The correct answer is B) Allowing the farmers to buy the land they farmed.

The other options of the question were A) encouraging farmers to form labor unions. C) putting farms under government control. D) causing crop production to decrease.

After World War II, the Americans established democratic reforms in addition to economic reforms in Japan. Before the war, Japanese farmers rented almost two-thirds of the land. They did not own the land, they worked for landlords who paid them barely half of the crops they grew. Peasants were poor people.

The American reform hanged this. They took the land away from landlords and redistributed it to the Japanese farmers, so they could own their portion of land. There also were reforms in the industrial sector allowing free trade unions.
