Matthew C. Perry
In
1852, Matthew C. Perry was ordered to travel to Japan to make a treaty that
made it so America and Japan could trade amongst each other. He led a naval
expedition that landed in what is now Tokyo Bay on July 8th, 1853.
They used America’s technology to impress and get the Japanese to agree to the
treaty. The Treaty of Kanagawa was signed and trade between the US and two
ports in Japan was allowed.
