Trade with the US significantly transformed Japanese society during the mid-19th century, particularly following the 1854 Treaty of Kanagawa, which opened Japan to American commerce. This influx of Western goods and ideas stimulated modernization and industrialization, leading to rapid economic growth. Additionally, exposure to American culture and political systems spurred social changes, including the adoption of Western education and technology, ultimately contributing to Japan's emergence as a global power by the early 20th century. However, this shift also sparked tensions between traditional values and modern influences.

What factors led to the attack on Pearl Harbor and the war between Japan and the US?
