Commodore Perry tried to visit Japan to establish trade relations like other foreign countries had tried to. The Portuguese and the Dutch had some success, but Japan was still able to control its contact with them and maintain policy of isolation. In the early 1800, more foreign ships (Russian, British, and Americans) began to come to Japan, but Japan's response was to keep them out, using force if necessary.

In July 14, 1853, Perry sailed into Uraga Harbor with a party larger than Japan has seen before and presented a letter from the President talking about trade, protection of shipwrecked Americans and purchasing coal for ships. Perry would return in 1854 for the Japaneses' answer to these demands. Perry returned with eight black ships and more soldiers to sign the Treaty of Kanagawa which opened two ports to America, created an American consulate in Japan and accepted the demands of the shipwrecked sailors and the coal. In 1885, Japan signed treaties with America, England, France, the Netherlands and Russia for more trading which ended up with Japan losing control over their trade. Below is the final page of the English version of the Treaty of Kanagawa signed by Perry.

Perry decided to come to Japan to make trade relations like the other foreign countries, but Japan did not agree with the idea of a trade relation, so they responded with trying to keep him out with hostility if absolutely necessary. Unlike the Dutch and Portuguese, Perry's efforts did not go the way he intended. -Jacob, Aylmer, and Anthony

Perry leaded the Americans to japan to open trade with them. The Japanese allowed this because they noticed that the Americans had more advanced weaponry and technology that they would be able to use for another time. - Franz

The Americans came to Japan because they wanted to set up a harbor/checkpoint to restock and refuel. They wanted to set up trade with the Japanese. The Americans believed in Manifest Destiny which they believe that they will rule the world.
