In the middle of the 12th century, what caused disturbances to arise in japan? japanese peasants who couldn't afford to support china's lavish style of government began to rebel against other clans and the government. peasants were forced to work the crops like serfs in order to supply daimyos with crops and goods that made the daimyos very wealthy and the peasants very poor. the japanese resented the establishment of bakufu, a form of government that included military governance by independent warlords. the samurai were rewarded for their bravery and battle skills with tracts of land that belonged to the peasants, which made the peasants very angry.

The last one: The Japanese resented the establishment of Bakufu...

the california missions began in the late 18th century as an effort to convert native americans to catholicism and expand european territory. there were 21 missions in all, lasting from 1769 until about 1833.   the missions were built by the spanish starting in 1769 in order to “colonize” the territory of alta california. so the missions were important because they were the means of settling california. it also wanted to keep other european countries out of alta california. building settlements along the coast would them meet these goals. missionaries wanted to convert the indians to the roman catholic faith. california indians did much of the work to build missions.
