The correct answer is true.

At the beginning of the firefighting practice in the 19th century, fire departments were considered as social organizations within the community they were located on. Being a firefighter was voluntary work and being a member was considered to increase your social status in your community. However, due to the "voluntary nature" of these institutions, there was an initial lack of organization in many of them. This led to low efficiency in the response to fires during the early years of firefighting.

What effects did the meiji restoration have on Japan's economy

Alex73 [517]

The Meiji restoration accelerated industrialization,land reform and brought massive change to the social structure in Japan. Thus, this helped the economy in many ways. Samurais, which were an elite class in Japan, were very expensive to upkeep and the Meiji restoration abolished this. Villagers were able to lease land to other farmers, which made them rich, as the social classes interacted more with one another. The Meiji also regulated that everyone spoke the Samurai Japanese dialect, so that there was no distinction/discrimination between classes based on someone's dialect and more of an equal chance was given to individuals. The military was also strengthened and the booming industry required a massive increase in production providing many with jobs in industrial and infrastructure occupations.
