After several petitions from congress, Pres. Millard Fillmore decided to force Japan to trade with the united states. Under the command of Matthew C. Perry (commodore) four american warships entered Edo bay( today known as Tokyo Bay). The display of american technology impressed the Japanese; by the way they have never before seen a steamship! So mesmerized Japanese agreed to sign the treaty of Kanagawa. That is basically "how" they forced the Japanese to trade with them.
