How are the Opium Wars and Matthew Perry's expedition similar?

The Opium Wars and Matthew Perry's expedition both involved Western powers exerting military and diplomatic pressure on Asian nations to open their markets and establish trade relations. In the Opium Wars, Britain sought to continue its lucrative opium trade with China, leading to military conflict and significant concessions from the Chinese government. Similarly, Perry's expedition to Japan in 1853 aimed to compel the isolated nation to open its ports to American trade through the threat of naval force. Both events exemplify the broader theme of imperialism and the imposition of Western influence in Asia during the 19th century.
