An event form the Gilded age that supports that “farmer were up in arms” is when a national organization of farmers met in Ocala, Florida, in 1890 to address the problems of rural America and create a platform. They demanded that Treasury notes and silver be used to increase the amount of money in circulation and they attacked the two major parties as loyal to big businesses and Wall Street Bankers. Evidence that would support the statement about farmers in this era “His burdens are heavier every year and his gains are more meager” is the falling prices of wheat, cotton and other crops due to increased American production.

For a long period, the restored contact with the West caused changes in Japanese society. After a strong civil conflict called Boshin war, the shogunate was forced to resign and the power was returned to the emperor. The Meiji Restoration of 1868 initiated several reforms. The feudal system was abolished and numerous Western institutions were adopted, including a Western legal and governmental system, along with other economic, social and military reforms that transformed Japan into a medium-high world power. As a result of the First Sino-Japanese War and the Russo-Japanese War, Japan annexed Taiwan, Korea and other territories to its expanding empire.
Thus it definitively established itself as a world power and the only one in Asia. After the First World War, 1918, Japan occupied a solid position in the Far East; It had the most powerful armed forces in the area, had great influence over China and had benefited economically from the war (it took care of the orders of the Asian countries, which the rest of the powers did not manage to attend).
Yes! This is a metaphor almost saying to keep your enemies close. If you keep the people with bad motives close you can over time figure out their true motive.
