The Meiji Restoration of Japan
Japanese had a peaceful life and living until Commodore Perry came to their country. It happened in 1853, when four American war ships came to the bay near Yedo with the purpose of a treaty trade. The Japanese were really shock on what they saw cause it was the first time for them to witness the transformation of technology that was brought by Mathew Perry.
He had a steam ship that uses steam power. And his crew brought large amounts of guns and huge black ships. The ships released a lot of smoke into the air, which terrified and impressed most of the Japanese. Mathew Perry warned the Japanese that if they won't let them in, they will open the country by force.
Mathew Perry came to Japan because they also need water and coal for their ships and crew to regain strength. Most of the Japanese had never seen foreigners from western countries. But Perry surprised them with gifts and other things that the Japanese where really fascinated about.
