Commodore Perry's Black Ships, which arrived in Japan in 1853, were steam-powered vessels that symbolized the forceful opening of Japan to Western trade and diplomacy. In contrast, the Great White Fleet, launched by President Theodore Roosevelt in 1907, was a display of American naval power meant to showcase the United States' military capabilities and promote diplomacy through strength. While Perry's ships represented an aggressive push for access to Japan, the Great White Fleet aimed to project goodwill and demonstrate the United States' growing naval prowess on a global scale.

Japan, keen to be recognized as a major world power, was motivated to modernize its own navy and military capabilities. The visit also influenced Japan's diplomatic relations with the U.S., leading to both cooperation and tensions, particularly in the context of Asian-American relations and territorial ambitions in the Pacific. Ultimately, it marked a pivotal moment in Japan's emergence as a formidable nation on the global stage.


When did the great white fleet sail to japan?

The Great White Fleet had nothing to do with the American Revolution. The battleships of the US Atlantic Fleet (16 of them) sailed from Hampton Roads (Norfolk), VA on 16 December 1907, returning there on 22 February 1909, after circumnavigating the globe. The American Revolution occurred between 1776 and 1781 (depending on what you consider to be the beginning; and the treaty that actually ended it wasn't signed until 1783).
