The Tokugawa Shogunate enacted a rigid policy of isolation for Japan known as Sakoku. It was enacted in 1630s and remained in place until 1853 when Japan was forcibly opened to Western trade by Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States.
Commodore Matthew C. Perry (Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry's younger brother), was the U.S. Navy Commodore who compelled Japan to open trade with the West in 1854, ending Japan's strict isolationist foreign policy.
The U.S. Commodore who forced Japan to open up to trade in 1853 was Matthew Perry. He led a naval expedition to Japan, arriving with a fleet of ships known as the "Black Ships." His mission was to negotiate a trade agreement, which ultimately resulted in the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, marking the end of Japan's isolationist policy. Perry's efforts significantly opened Japan to the Western world and initiated a new era in Japanese history.
Japan upheld a policy of isolation until the mid-nineteenth century. The shogun signed a peace treaty with Matthew Perry in 1854.
When Commodore Matthew Perry arrived in Japan in 1853, the country was largely isolated due to its sakoku policy, which had restricted foreign contact for over 200 years. Japan was a feudal society dominated by the samurai class, with a rigid social hierarchy and limited technological advancement. The arrival of Perry and his naval fleet marked a pivotal moment, as it forced Japan to confront the realities of Western imperialism and ultimately led to the end of its isolation and the beginning of modernization efforts.

1600's.
Commodore Matthew Perry entered Tokyo Harbor in 1853 to establish diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan, which had been largely isolated from foreign influence. His arrival was part of a broader strategy to open Japan to American trade and to secure coaling stations for U.S. ships in the Pacific. Perry's use of military presence was intended to convey the seriousness of his mission and to pressure the Japanese government into negotiations. This ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, marking the end of Japan's isolationist policy.
