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.
Japan was exposed to ideas that revolutionized its society
In 1853, when the US Navy's Commodore Perry sailed his "warships" into Japanese waters, he opened Japan's culture to the outside world. They had lived in their own "sealed kingdom" (self imposed isolation) before then. When Japan saw the mini-locomotive trains, and latest cannons & hand held firearms (small arms), combined with how easy it was for a foreigner like the US Navy to enter their harbor un-opposed; they knew, if they were to survive, they had to be able to compete on "an equal basis!" This called for "Industrialization!"
