Commodore Perry's visit to Japan in 1854 forced the Japanese to pay attention to the rest of the world. They sent out diplomatic missions .

. . . The only American demands were opportunities to trade and that the Japanese stop executing shipwrecked American sailors . . .

. . . Compare this to the British Opium Wars with China and European conquest of the rest of Asia. Never the less . . .

. . . Japanese nationalists considered Perry's visit the greatest humiliation in their history. They plotted revenge for 85 years . . .
