| In 1853 United States Commodore Matthew Perry and his entourage met with Japan’s royal commissioner in Yokohama, Japan. With a fleet of American gunships docked in the harbor, Perry presented the Japanese with a trade and friendship treaty. He returned the next year with an even more impressive fleet to assure the signing of the treaty. | ||||||
