How many ports did Japan have in 1700's? Name them.
Japan had three ports. Hyogo, Yokohama, and shimoda.
Japan opened its ports after signing the Treaty of Kanagawa with the US in 1854 and began to intensively modernize and industrialize.
In 1858, the United States had several significant ports, with major ones including New York City, New Orleans, Boston, and San Francisco. These ports were crucial for trade and commerce during that period, facilitating the movement of goods and people. New York City was the largest port, while New Orleans served as a vital hub for goods flowing to and from the Mississippi River.
In 1858, the United States secured trading rights with Japan through the Harris Treaty, named after American consul Townsend Harris. This agreement followed the Treaty of Kanagawa, which had opened Japanese ports to American ships in 1854. The Harris Treaty expanded trade opportunities and established a formal diplomatic relationship, allowing for greater commercial activity and the presence of American citizens in Japan. This marked a significant shift in Japan's foreign relations, moving towards engagement with Western powers.
