Commodore Matthew C. Perry
Japan
In 1852, Matthew Perry left Norfolk, Virginia for Japan to pursue a Japanese trade treaty. He arrived at Uraga Harbor near Edo (early Tokyo) on July 8, 1853. Perry was told by representatives of the Tokugawa Shogunate to go to Nagasaki instead, which was the only Japanese port open to foreigners at the time.
The arrival of the black ships, led by Commodore Matthew Perry in 1853, marked a significant turning point for Japan, leading to the end of the samurai era. The forced opening of Japan to Western trade and influence weakened the feudal system and the power of the samurai class, as the country shifted towards modernization and industrialization. This transition culminated in the Meiji Restoration of 1868, which abolished the samurai's privileged status and their traditional way of life, ultimately transforming Japan into a centralized, modern state. The samurai's decline was thus a direct result of Japan's need to adapt to global pressures and new political realities.
