No, Matthew Perry did not open the ports of Great Britain in the 1800s. He was an American naval officer who played a significant role in opening Japan to the West through the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854. This event marked the end of Japan's isolationist policy, but it did not involve Great Britain.
Japan had three ports. Hyogo, Yokohama, and shimoda.
Japan was forced to open its ports through uneven treaties by which Japan got much less power in their relationship with the West than the European and American administrations had. To say that it was 'bad' for Japan is an oversimplfication, though. In the long run, it allowed a fast modernization and an vast increase in military technology through contact with the West, as well as many social changes. However, as it was a militarily-enforced relationship created by the brute force of foreign intervention, it also demoralized Japan as its first encounter with the outside world was a defeat.
Japan decided to force Korea to open 2 ports to trade. This would show that Japan is an imperial nation. Along with this, Japan sent different officials around the world to scout out the best technologies to modernize its country.
How many ports did Japan have in 1700's? Name them.
1. Limitation of open ports (Canton for China and Nagasaki for Japan) 2. Attempts to stymie trade because of European religion, culture, and goods (prominently opium) 3. Eventual capitulations because of asymmetrical military power
This was when the west was seeking to open new markets for trading and didn't want the US to get to powerful for them to try and over take Japan.
Japan did not want to open to the West, but US Commodore Matthew C Perry forcibly opened the nation to Western trade in 1854.
It should be fishermen. Whaling is not the fishery only by Japan. America hunted a great number of whales and that's partly what they wanted Japan to open ports.
