After World War II, the United States helped Japan to recover. General Douglas A. McArthur was the leader of the Allies in charge of the Reconstruction of Japan and he created many reformations in politics, economy, the military, and land. The purpose of the land reform was to reduce the gap between rich landlords that did not farm the lands and the peasants that rented the land to grow crops. The government forced the landlords to sell part of its land and then gave portions of land to the farmers that could rent to others and farmers also could sell their crops to the government.
