The samurai were very displeased with how low they ranked due to the fact that they were at the highest of classes and now they are grouped with peasants. because of this they revolted and would only stay quiet if the government would pay them. When it came down to payment the government had to spend 1/3 of all its money on payment to the samurai.

But this was the best thing that Japan could have done because it finally grew and modernized as a country.
