Commodore Matthew Perry's arrival in Japan in 1853 marked a significant turning point in Japanese history. His delivery of a letter from President Millard Fillmore and the subsequent show of naval power forced Japan to open its ports to American trade, ending over two centuries of self-imposed isolation. This event catalyzed the Meiji Restoration, leading to rapid modernization and industrialization in Japan as it sought to strengthen itself against Western powers. Ultimately, Perry's expedition contributed to profound social, political, and economic changes that transformed Japan into a modern nation.
