Commodore Matthew Perry convinced Japan to enter trade relations by leveraging a display of military strength and technological superiority. In 1853, he arrived in Tokyo Bay with a fleet of "black ships," showcasing steam-powered vessels and advanced weaponry, which intimidated the Japanese. His strategic approach included a combination of diplomacy and the threat of force, leading to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, which established limited trade relations between Japan and the United States. This opened Japan to foreign influence and marked the beginning of its modernization efforts.
