Best Answer

On July 1853, Commodore Perry brought its fleet to Japanese coasts and finally, after years of voluntary isolation, the recently established Meiji government decided to open up Japanese ports to foreign trading. This was mainly because of two reasons, the first that Japanese had really no choice, they had been pressed for years before to open up to the world, and second they made it so that they would seem like they could compete with the other foreign powers of that time, instead of ending up conquered by those same powers, like most of China.
