Why did japan open it ports to European trade?

The Japanese opened their ports to American ships in 1854 because when Commodore Matthew Perry came to Japan in 1853, he brought a letter from the Prime Minister requesting trade, protection for the shipwrecked, and the right to buy coal for passing ships. When he arrived, he brought a lot of military, which was more advanced than Japan's due to their isolation. After he delivered this letter, he left and returned one year later in 1854. When he arrived, he demanded for their answer. The Japanese then signed a treaty that opened two Japanese ports to the Americans. They agreed to this because the second time Commodore Perry arrived, he brought even more military force. Therefore, the Japanese knew that if they started a war, they would lose because of their lack in technology and military strategy. Basically, they were intimidated into signing the treaty.

What was the Treaty of Kanagawa?

Also called Perry Convention (March 31, 1854), Japan's first treaty with a Western nation. Concluded by representatives of the United States and Japan at Kanagawa (now part of Yokohama), it marked the end of Japan's period of seclusion (1639-1854). The treaty was signed as a result of pressure from U.S. Commodore Matthew C. Perry, who sailed into Tokyo Bay with a fleet of warships in July 1853 and demanded that the Japanese open their ports to U.S. ships for supplies. Perry then left Japan in order to give the government a few months to consider its decision. When he returned in February 1854, the Japanese, aware that none of their armaments was a match for Perry's warships, agreed to admit U.S. ships to the ports of Shimoda and Hakodate and to accept a U.S. consul at Shimoda. The Treaty of Kanagawa was the first of the treaties signed between Japan and other Western countries in the 19th century.
