In 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry of the United States Navy entered Tokyo Harbor with a fleet of four warships. His arrival marked the beginning of the end of Japan's isolationist policy, as he sought to open Japanese ports to American trade. Perry's expedition ultimately led to the signing of the Treaty of Kanagawa in 1854, which established formal relations between the United States and Japan.

Why did commodore Matthew perry enter the Tokyo harbor with military?

Commodore Matthew Perry entered Tokyo Harbor in 1853 to establish diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan, which had been largely isolated from foreign influence. His arrival was part of a broader strategy to open Japan to American trade and to secure coaling stations for U.S. ships in the Pacific.
