The Kanagawa Treaty (Convention of Kanagawa, 1854) was negotiated by Commodore Matthew Perry who commanded a US fleet that traveled to Japan in 1853. The treaty was mainly an economic one, forcing Japan out of its self-imposed isolation and opening it to world trade. This led to other treaties that mainly served the interests of the European colonial powers in Asia.
