Question

what was one effect of oda nobunagas limits on the power of buddhist monasteries and other reforms on trade in japan? trade across the empire opened up and gave more control to merchants. the buddhist monasteries gained more control over trade. trade throughout the empire was limited only to local markets. trade routes and naval power became less important over time.

Explanation:

Oda Nobunaga's actions reduced the power of Buddhist monasteries, which had previously held significant economic influence. This allowed merchants more control over trade as the monasteries' dominance was lessened. The other options are incorrect: the monasteries lost power (not gained), trade was not limited to local markets (Nobunaga aimed to expand and centralize), and trade routes and naval power became more important as Japan moved towards a more unified and trade - focused state under his rule.

Answer:

Trade across the empire opened up and gave more control to merchants.
