The Edo period in Japan ended primarily due to internal and external pressures that culminated in the Meiji Restoration of 1868. The arrival of Commodore Matthew Perry from the United States in 1853 forced Japan to open its ports to foreign trade, exposing it to Western influence and ideas. Additionally, dissatisfaction with the Tokugawa shogunate's rigid social structure and economic difficulties led to widespread unrest and calls for reform. These factors ultimately contributed to the collapse of the shogunate and the restoration of imperial rule.
