Based on the information in the table, what was one difference between the feudal systems in Japan and Europe?

Question

A.
Farmers gave part of their crops to lords in Japan but not in Europe.
B.
Feudal lords owned large areas of land in Japan but not in Europe.
C.
Warriors were treated with great respect in Japan but not in Europe.
D.
Peasants were valued members of society in Japan but not in Europe.

Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Warriors were treated with great respect in Japan but not in Europe.

In Japan, samurai were highly respected and held a significant social status, often associated with bushido, the way of the warrior. In contrast, while knights in Europe were also respected, the societal structure and the perception of warriors differ, often making samurai hold a more revered status in Japanese culture compared to their European counterparts.
