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.

The seclusion of Japan began to end with the arrival of Commodore Perry in 1853. The Harris Treaty (Treaty of Amity and Commerce) in 1858, was the culmination of Perry's arrival. This resulted in the opening of Japan to international trade.
Commodore Matthew Perry's visit to Japan in 1853 was pivotal in ending Japan's isolationist foreign policy. His arrival with a fleet of American warships forced Japan to open its ports to Western trade, leading to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854. This marked the beginning of Japan's modernization and integration into the global economy, ultimately transforming it into a significant world power. Perry's expedition underscored the impact of Western imperialism in Asia during the 19th century.
In 1853, the U.S. government demanded that Japan (then a closed country) reopen trade with the West. In 1854, the U.S. government (through gunboat diplomacy) forced the Japanese government to sign a treaty, opening Japan up to trade with the U.S.
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.
